Metro Lyrics

Time moves through us, silent in observation

No bias to us, construct of imagination

Reside and then abide to it's rules

Helpless against the track when it moves

Begging for a junction to choose

To change the track to better our dues

But the Metro doesn't wait

Doesn't care if black, brown, for fair-haired

It's only blind to your fate

Takes you on a trip to consume

You, from a different point of view

Through the glass port you can choose

Either look away or amuse

Took a while, but I found a ticket

Thinkin' now, this is the beginning

On the metal, line meddling my time

Working to a life worth livin'

Boarded for a chance to reform

Thought back to the past to explore

Got retorts for myself evermore

Even if unsure

Gliding down on the track here and now

Looking back through the glass feeling proud

See the little dashin' around

With a couple scrapes from the ground

And we got the same face

His is filled with anger

And we got the same fate

Shared within an anchor

Using what I know in present

I put my hand to the glass to press it

In the hope that the little dope kid sees

And he don't get depressed

In the thought of another life livin'

Wishing I could shout tell him not to give in

Let him know that he ain't alone

Even though no one sees where he's headed

And now the glass goes black

Little me's gone in a flash

With the present daunting at last

In the middle of this tunnel

As a kinder I rebuttal to go back

But the car keeps it moving

I see icy views far away

To remove from my past

Now with an ice-framed window

I sit alone in the train car

With only sound acting in tip-toe

I look out to my right now

And I see someone within the cold

Clutching tight to a red book

That's been filled with un-written goals

Their face

Covered in a shadow, just can't make it out

But no mistake

Not living within me, a single shred of a doubt

I push my hand through the glass to break it

And reach into the shroud

But they disappear and my fingers slip

And now I hear the sound of a crowd

Pulled back into Metro now

Train car's Deaftones loud

Filled with people gathering around

Faded light through the glass port

Captures my gaze, shortsighted I'm unfazed

Day and night would react to each other

Now in a blend, a fountain of grey

As we move from the now into soon

I think I found why I crafted this tune

To be imbued by a passionate few

While riding on this track, passing 'em through

Faded lights now brighter in view

My future self coming into the room

Extended hand and he's got a new suit

Begging for me to pay my dues

Echos from the past, let it be known

The thoughts of my present, they have been shown

The dreams to come at last, raring to go

I have learned my lesson, time to grow

Past may be Set in Stone

And today we may be on Death Row

The time ahead has Something to Behold

Purpose that I got upon the Metro
