[Intro]
All passengers, prepare for the game ritual...

[Verse 1]
There once was a man on this train
He was born into this world alone
Hands never laid on the wheel
Content, he will never know more

[Pre-Chorus]
He was a quiet man in pain
His tears, I fear, are closing in again
What you lose in years
You gain in perspective

[Chorus]
And the passenger pauses to see his mistakes
For with nothing to follow
He'd lived all his life in vain
But then, who here among us is without shame?

[Verse 2]
His way was divergent and cold
Defaced, this mask he must create
And the circle unfolding still
Unscathed, he will turn a blind eye
[Pre-Chorus]
He will miss the last train home this day
Recycled in the flow, reborn again
The cynic knows the price of everything
And the value of nothing

[Chorus]
And the passenger pauses to see his mistakes
For with nothing to follow
He'd let all his will decay
But then, true wisdom comes in learning pain

[Post-Chorus]
And I have known pain

[Chorus]
And the passenger pauses to see his mistakes
For with nothing to follow
He'd lived all his life in vain
But then, the lesson unlearned, he will begin again...
