Subway is vacant and so is his stare
Conductor stops waving and smoke fills the air
Till he drops you off at the very last stop
Six cars a second, wind whips past your face
The wheels on the tracks fall right into their place
Till the pressure in your eardrums pops
Way out on the tracks sits a snaggle-toothed man with a regressive tax
He sits there especially for you
A pound for a pound or he wont let you through
Hey, hey, here comes the train
I'd ride a thousand miles just to see you smile
I'd bite my tongue until my blood ran through the bathroom tiles
A river through the door until there was no more
I cannot breathe out so casually anymore
Hey, hey, here comes the train
You wonder what the fuck is going on
You wonder if these people are currently knowing god
You isolate the strain and put it through the centrifuge
Write up the lab report and dot the I's and cross the Q's
And the results say
Hey, hey, something seems strange
Wait, wait, are you the train?
Please take me to the bridge and remind me how to state the case
Hands tight, palms sweating as I approach the train that holds your face
Your train face coming back, all the time I watched you pull the reins

I watched you pull the reins
I watched you pull
I watched you pull the reins
Euuuuuuaaaaagh Reeeeiiiiiii
One constellation irreparably slain
One constellation one constellationtiontiontion
One constellation one constellationtiofdfdfdsGSFbtbt
I wanna get on your side of history
I wanna get on your side of history
On the waitlist I put myself 18 times
I wanna be your fireman
I tired to capture your likeness purely based on description
Speculative marks on a dollar store sheet
I think I have it
Schematics
Becoming your true form

He was busy, I was back
Isolate the finished act
leap so quick I cannot speak
Mellow sweat midsummers' eve
You wake up quickly to the icy fog
Isolation is coming on till it pulls you apart
You wake up quickly to the icy fog
Isolation is coming on so quickly again
So quickly again
I live on the other end
Fold so quickly it's not fair
Minnow eyes and severed ties, I watch them on TV
You intercept a message and now everyone can see
Your mind is like a compass if it pointed to the south
Where a very scary cassowary kicks you in the mouth, ow
Get knocked where spaceships come and go
I was waiting for the rapture and the sun was shining bright
I will interrupt your service but I'll get your channels right
To pacify the conscience you must hold on to a thread
Of which a million tiny fibers try to get inside your head(rest)
You're in the basement reading periodicals
Dad was right like the puff of the nightly cigarette
You can see me once again, I can't find
Lyman and his very scary cassowary eyes
Let's not sink it till we find
(In the spirit of innovation)
All those machines that you fly
I can't see you in this light, all those machines that you fly
Passing away on the sly, passing away on the sly
I can't see you in this light, all of your hopeful designs
But I cannot cut out your eyes, I cannot cut out your eyes (eyes)
