Take me away
Tracks
I heard they take you places
And so I walk there
Waiting for a train take me somewhere
Tears leaving me behind
Replaced by an empty stare
Reflecting sights of despair
Along tracks to the middle of no where
I see it so clearly
It’s coming to take me away from here
And I can’t help but hear
The trains screeching weep
It sounds uncomfortably familiar
Oh yeah I remember
It’s taunting from every night
Until I was bound to the tracks
Even if given a knife
There is no will for life
That’s why I’m here right?

Author's Note
I hear the trains horn every night. It reminds me of the lost opportunity to go nowhere. Im left on the tracks hopelessly watching trains go by instead of crushing me.
