lyrics

Crash through the membrane
To reality
Flying solo
Feels like no hope
Left for me

I’ve got no secrets
No-one to blame
Just my ego
Out the window
What remains

And the trains roll on by
Under the sodium sky
Their screams fill the air
On their way to nowhere

You speak a language
I don’t understand
All the sweet things
Come to nothing
In my hands

And the trains roll on by
So why can’t I?
They’ll take all I hold dear
And make it disappear

I tried to be kind
But I’ve fallen behind
I wanted a choice
But all I get is noise

I can’t remember
Just how it felt
Black sun blazing
These fearsome engines
Start to melt

Can’t see straight now
Horizon’s all blurred
Faceless shadows
That’s what I chose
Not a word

And the trains roll on by
Caught in the eye
I’m tumbling down
Can I still turn around?

No absolution
Hang my head in shame
I’m at a red signal
But these sins all
Look the same

It’s quantum physics
It’s Beethoven Five
It’s pantomime
Looks like it’s time
To decide

Full steam ahead
I can sleep when I’m dead
Listening out for your voice
And all I hear is noise
