Deep Black Vanishing Train

[first line difficult to understand]don't you ever come down?

Tied newspaper pages

are scattered across the ground

lost on the violent sea

gone for endless days

I've tried to free myself

but it's been hard to break away

so long light you're bound to fall

and isn't that a shame?

testing shadows on the wall

to late to learn another game

transfixed by what isn't seen

and what will never change

the times I've tried to free myself

It's been hard to look away

It's a deep black vanishing train

on a very long track

standing on the sidewalk in the rain

hands behind my back

lost on a violent sea

day on endless day

I've finally freed myself

but it's been hard to break away
