The Railroad of the Mind

There is far more than you'd hope to find,
Aboard the railroad of the mind.
Your hopes, your dreams, your fears, your love,
From darkest depths? Sent from above?
Sneak out while they sleep,
The traintracks go deep,
No need for fare,
Just empty air.

Powered by flames that you left behind,
We're riding the railroad of the mind.
All those things you locked away,
All those thoughts are here to stay,
Burnt to ash,
Under the lash,
The train goes on,
The wrongs undone.

Maybe you'll be met in kind,
Aboard the railroad of the mind.
Held with love, and met with faith,
No need for pity or for haste,
Hold his hand,
You'll understand,
You felt this way,
It's here to stay.

But all the passengers are blind,
Riding the railroad of the mind.
Out the window, tilt your head,
The fields, forests, are all dead.
The tracks go deep,
Where giants sleep,
The landscape wakes,
And then it breaks.

There is far more than you'd hope to find,
Aboard the railroad of the mind.
Things that you weren't meant to know,
Places you weren't meant to go,
It lives within,
And wants to win,
We're all aboard,
It's our reward.
