Little Engine
Reporting live from inside
Red light, red light
Green light, green light
Hey yellow, strange fellow
On my runaway train
Nothing here's the same
Sometimes I wanna stay, sometimes I wanna go
Sometimes I wanna pray because sometimes you never know
Sometimes I wanna drink until my liver shrivels up
But then I get to thinkin', givin' in is giving up
I'm only just a human havin' his talks with God
I know him to be a friend, though at times we stand at odds
I tell him I distance, say it with my actions
Searchin' for the answers is ultimate satisfaction
I get lost in my quest
Rationing through confusion
Find myself in relationships to falser the illusion
I'm losing my soul's purpose, feel like my soul's worthless
Know this isn't depression, I'm just saying I'm not perfect
Tell heaven to beam me up
I'm a man at his least
Poppa say to stand your ground, walk in your authority
But hell is in this world
And I'm tryna keep the focus of a sure-footed man
But this little boy is broken
I'm just hoping for a...
Red light, red light
Green light, green light
Hey yellow, strange fellow
On my runaway train
Nothing here's the same
Sometimes I wanna crawl, sometimes I wanna fly
Sometimes I wanna try to find a way for you and I
To be all we can be in this land of do or die
But sometimes I get discouraged, askin' why I even try
Do people even care?
God I don't think they wanna know
The reason that you sent your son to die
So should I just go and live my life for me?
or live my life for you?
The difference is to die for the lie or live for truth
I just wanna see forever, if ever had a day
It would be up in your presence where my sins are wiped away
I would look upon your face and see my true reflection
I'll be honest on this earth, my vision keep gettin' deflected
Forgive me for being me
I love you for being you
If you listen to this song, I love you for being proof
And helping me draw conclusions in this battle for my mind
All it took was four seasons to see that I needed time
I'm just hoping for a...
Red light, red light
Green light, green light
Hey yellow, strange fellow
On my runaway train
Nothing here's the same
Red light, red light
Green light, green light
Hey yellow, strange fellow
On my runaway train
Nothing here's the same
Sometimes I wanna stay, sometimes I wanna go
Sometimes I wanna pray because sometimes you never know
Sometimes I wanna drink until my liver shrivels up
But then I get to thinkin', givin' in is giving up
I'm only just a human havin' his talks with God
I know him to be a friend, though at times we stand at odds
