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
