Railways

it's a good thing this train ain't stopping for miles
i can feel the brakes creak but my head puts me in denial
along the sideways bend we go all throughout the night
no, we ain't stopping until we see the sunrise

us insomniacs, our thoughts, yeah they run wild
they make their own paths in the underground
my papa told me "boy, now don't come back a while"
that's when i ran, and i heard a voice, a sound

and i was scared
because
it was my own

for the first time in my life, i am breathing
and for the first time in my life, i am saved

with these melodies singing your song
and they'll lead me straight to you
with open arms and open eyes,
i'll say hello to you

and i'll be home

it's a good thing this train just stopped for you
i can feel the stillness in the air, it's all brand new
you sit down next to me and take my hand
you say "i know shit's crazy, but you'll be okay"
you'll be okay

and for the first time in my life, i am breathing

for the first time in my life, i am saved
