Light This City

Tracks Of Decay
Here comes the train, pained and wailing Eye focused on you warily, but still unblinking Is this the one I'm supposed to bring? For this next journey, endless and complex Injuries you'll never be prepared to dress A hundred stops you'll sleep away Then wake to wish you hadn't and You take your time packing light I never could comprehend How it took you hours to finally end Up with a list of twenty forgotten things To the naïve eye (not the headlight), You might appear to actually care for something But you're not guarding this life with your own, Just risking mine What a fucking waste. This time Remember when I said you were bound to make another mistake? Was it stupidity or a self-fulfilling prophecy? Self-fulfilled, I should say Unless you were planning on One more fuck-up today? Another idiot's dance, are we just supposed to watch and laugh? We're far from amused; in fact we might as well be lying on the tracks Here comes the crash, too fast to catch my heart, SongtextePropelled from my chest while my body Lurched and halted with the brakes While everything else seems to slow around me I can't believe this is happening again I was never meant to be here, I complain Because for a moment, the ride was steady, But your devastation was inevitable Expected, yet unavoidable, Like the cycle of natural wildfire The peril is far too close To allow any delay in my stride The deaths and wounds are far too real For me just to stand and gape, wide-eyed Like the crowd That can't help themselves, or us I'm sorry, but I won't be entertained by your train wreck life Will it be neglect or abuse That puts you underground? Your tracks are sore from overuse And they're finally wearing down A scar for every accident New waste to block the way All aboard your train wreck life Last stop, Tracks of Decay! Aus Songtexte Mania
