blood on the tracks

Shadows creep as the train rolls, time slows, Whispers in the dark, hear the night’s cold prose, Iron and steel, where the lost souls stroll, Riding on the edge, but I’m losing control. Life’s a gamble, dice roll on the tracks, Heartbeats echo, hear the thunder crack, Ghosts of the past, they be chasing my back, Fucking around, but I’m never looking back. Lights flash bright, but the darkness prevails, Chasing down dreams that are bound to derail, Tracks twist and turn like the tales that I tell, Living on the edge, but it’s heaven and hell. Smoke in the air, feel the tension ignite, Eyes on the prize, but my vision’s in flight, Fate on the line, like a train in the night, Running from the pain, but I’m drawn to the fight.
