I sulk upon the peak of a fortune and flick through
Rolling hills, then empty stations but never see you
The opulence of this carriage was once alluring
Now it’s so blinding I can’t see a way out of it
I make to leave when I hear the whistles
But you’re not there, we don’t stop
Once I swear I saw a body on the platform
But windows smear and we don’t stop
As we determine our stars they’re already dead
We’re chasing distance with broken legs
I’m in the squall of its departure as I enter the station,
It was coming to save me...
Now I’m cumbrous on all fours, stacked
Crawling up the train track
Trying to chase the train that
Won’t ever wait…
But what if I make it?..
Once I swear I saw a face at the window…
The hands on the throat know it’s already dead
They just won’t let me go
As my head drops, languid
The train charges past me
It was coming to save me…
When I wake up on the platform
There are no sounds, no people
I slide on to the tracks and walk
Trying to find the next stop
The whir of wind and whistles
And if I don’t make it
I can try again
I always try again
Loops never end
