Weilding the Weapon of Prayer

If you wanna ride my locomotion
just lay the rail
If you can handle it
wrong way down the tracks
neverending tracks
across the lands
forever going
forward
where are we going?

Going off the tracks
before its too late
your heart understands
why were ging off the tracks

A soulbound prayer chain reaction
your heart
tied to the tracks
over the muddy water
no turning back
the love I keep seeing
taught to me in this way
forget it all again
you are not the one who needs this spiritual healing
cinderella tied to the tracks
of a prayer we weild as a weapon
words are stronger than you know
i could set you up
and you would fall
like dominos
but this is what i understand

we're goin off the tracks
two trains on one rail
a prayer for a weapon
somehow you remain sheltered
asking yourself
whats that sound?
and dont see the train coming
building a weapon out of our prayers
step by step we drop the act
the illusion gone
see you clearly
mothers coming home with something to say
mothers gonna be here
take the confusion away
whose in control of the sideshow?

I'm in the limelight
watching the slide
in the limelight
people seem to shine
in the limelight
life is good
in the background
waiting for you
nothing else to do

given the clocks away
time was something
never mirror that reality
shoed away my own laces
i keep trippin
trippin my way down the street
she said it
im just trippin unglued
not everyone is a fool
scram, scram, scram
scram
