Ruin - Cheap One Way Ticket to your Ruin

A locomotive with no coal to burn

Will lay idly in the swaying grass

And leave passengers annoyed with the lack of progress

"Have they no urgency? Why can’t they go?"

Only love can burn so hot to the touch

Setting sparks alight on the steel tracks

And roar that machine to life. 771Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fCgG9bjYZ

But what happens when you don’t want to go?

When the passengers are begging to stay rooted to the spot?

When the train lurches forward without warning

With gravity off-axis and limbs flying

When the steam billows into a dizzying blur

When the whistle deafens the poor people holding on for dear life?

When the train goes speeding

Slicing through the ground like air

No end in sight, just faster and faster

The coal so hot it’s nearly diamonds now

“The emergency brake!” but no one dares to touch

For there is the smallest, tiny little chance

They could be taken to paradise.

But my runaway train has no happy ending

For no matter how fast the engine blows

No matter how hot the fuel will glow

The long stretch of canyon can never be conquered.

For who needs trains these days anyway,

When planes can take you where you need to go?

Blood and wreckage among the iron tracks

Ending abruptly before the edge

Like the builders knew it would never make it

Even with an infinite amount of coal.

So buy a cheap ticket, it’s only one way

And here’s the best part of it all

You won’t even realize you’ve bought it

Until you wake up to the whistle blowing.
