The Subway

The Subway
By LoLa

Waiting for never
Bathing in silence
Protected from weather
Where silence is violence

Forever we roam
Eternally aligned
This box car is home
Suspended in time

Lights flicker with hope
This feels like a dream
Unspoken ways to cope
Pain that happens in between

Wayward souls wander
Destinations still unknown
Welcome echos pull us under
feeling that we're not alone

Strange vibrations illuminated
No time exists between trAin stations
In Destinations of the fated
Misguided words of adoration

Prophets read from torn pages
Mindless faces lose their way
Disllusioned, in their Cages
Telling more than Words could Say

A Disembodied voice declares
I have seen this day Before
I see the light, and it is fair!
Desparate cries to end a war

Past and present seen as one
Urgency in wandering eyes
Letting go; i come undone
And Leave behind things I'll deny
