Back to the Trains
[Spoken intro]
[Frank]: We used to walk these streets, heads high and back, eyes wide in wonder of what we've become
I used to have it all planned out, I used to know where I was going
"And every way you turn leads the same way" - you break the silence with these words and with a call back to the trains that drag us home by our hair
There is no sanctuary in nostalgia
I love you... I just want to melt into the dark warm living earth and find that special place I sought when I was a child playing hide and seek
Here I can hide without fear of discovery. Leave me alone, i'm just a child inside this empty shell, I cannot hide, I know I can't hide wihtout fear of discovery
[Chris]: It never ends, they never fade, these scars on my heart from self-inflicted injuries. You fucking traitress
[Ben]: How much longer must I see you with others before you notice me staring longingly at you?
In the time it takes for one single raindrop to fall down your cheek, I have said "i love you" a thousand times in my head
How much longer can I be a friend and nothing more?
