Getting Nowhere

The reflection in the window

A familiar stranger's face

Seeing outside looking in

To the emptiness of space

Lost now and found again

Moving at the speed of thought

Between dreams and memories

An old train without a cause

Lightning flashes seen from overhead

Light up a rainy world where we all bled

Awake while sorrows there are getting drowned

Await the thunder roll to hide the sound

All the worries of the road

Coming one after the next

Linger on despite the past

Forget there ever was the rest

Lying eyes that see the truth

Closed and blinded in the dark

Still unblinking in their gaze

Cloudy windows of the heart

Thoughts beside the visions of the one

Blurred into the colors of the dawn

Pools of empty promise filled with lies

Every single one I kept inside

Cold breath on the skin

Touch a weary state of mind

A million words unsaid

Getting heavier in time

Call the name that's on the tag

In a voice unheard before

Break the spell of giving in

Run up to the sliding doors
