Ghosts On a Nowhere Train

Sitting on a bench being Forest's friend
Spending the day going nowhere
We talk of beginnings and even the end
We stop, we pause, we stare
Without each other the answer is the same
But we may never find them
I'll invert my eyes and look inside
See what I'm really thinking
The lonely track is straight and cold
A speeding express to nowhere
I long escape, wish the tracks would fold
But pull the chord I dare
Cutting deep against my own grain
Back to the wall, hand to the cane
Scratching at walls won't break this train
United we kneel but we are the prey
Are we all ghosts on a nowhere train?
In single file onto the pile
They send us away

Staring at the sky wondering where it ends
And wondering if we'll ever get there
The furthest star my closest friend
Or a burnt-out rescue flare
Screaming at candles won't budge this flame
Burning hearts extinguished and tamed
Lost in the dark have I sold out again?
But I've seen the light, so I'll jump off this train
Are we all ghosts on a nowhere train?
In single file onto the pile
They send us away
Are we all ghosts on a nowhere train?
In single file onto the pile
They send us away

Are we all ghosts on a nowhere train?
In single file onto the pile
They send us away
Are we all ghosts on a nowhere train?
In single file onto the pile
They send us away
I'd love to be, I'd hate to be, don't want to be, I want to be...
I'd love to be, I'd hate to be, don't want to be, I want to be...
I'd love to be, I'd hate to be, don't want to be, I want to be...
I'd love to be, I'd hate to be, don't want to be, I want to be...
Are we all ghosts on a nowhere train?
In single file onto the pile
They send us away
Are we all ghosts on a nowhere train?
In single file onto the pile
They send us away

Are we all ghosts on a nowhere train?
