Captive

The train to no where
has taken me captive
the tracks run in circles through my soul
fueled by my burning heart

My only companion on this ride
is a phantom in a dark cloak with eyes of fire
each word he utters slithers from his toungue full of venom.

Biting into my flesh making me see visions
past mistakes cause my heart to ache with pain
I look to the window seeking a brighter view
but the windows are smoked over
casting a distorted image of myself.

I decide to roll a blunt
and for a moment forget
sit back head spinning entering oblivion
where the faces of the people i've hurt
don't flash and dance.

I hear the phantom with his poisonous voice
cackling "forget, forget while you can
this train hasn't reached it's final destination
death is the end of the line
pray you figure out life's riddle in time."
