[Intro – distorted radio transmission]
Carbon Codas here…
Voluntarily lying down on these blasphemous tracks…
[Ambient train sounds building]
Stuck on a loop,
No time to recoup.
C’mon… shhh…
Just need a little bit of silence…
Before my thoughts fully derail!
…It’ll come back to me… (to no avail!)
Good thing trains always keep coming back around! (Right round!)
⸻
[Verse 1]
Yeah,
My mind is spiraling in real time,
All hail tunnel vision!
Going like swish, so fast,
And before you know it…
We’re flying past the next connection divide!
Slide to the side,
Avoid collision!
Ahh,
Blinded by this locomotive’s bright halogen glow.
[enthusiastic train conductor voice]
“All aboard!
This is your FINAL boarding call!”
[LOUD TRAIN HORN]
We are on route
Giving little to no not a single
HOOT! (Hoot!)
Heading straight into the light!
⸻
[Chorus]
Coming in heavy like loaded freight,
Running these routes day and night.
Rain or snow, dark or shine,
We do not wait — we ride on time.
Move with we,
Hop inside this railway ride.
Sky to sea,
Meet you at the yard near Harbour Key !
⸻
[Verse 2]
Balanced on the rail,
Eyes, ears, hope on the crossing line.
Careful though —
You’ve gotta know,
Playing with trains is a dangerous game.
Steel humming underneath our feet,
Signals flicker seen far away,
In the dead of night.
Every track got somewhere to go,
Entering every tunnel chasing light.
⸻
[Bridge – atmospheric]
Static on the radio,
Pressure on the brakes.
We’ve got thoughts moving faster than what we’re scheduled for.
Can’t stop the momentum now!
…GO!
Another station’s gone by,
Another version of me left behind!
(OKAY BYE!)
⸻
[Final Chorus]
Coming in heavy like loaded freight,
Running these routes all the time.
Day and night, rain or snow,
Dark or shine — we never slow.
Move with we,
Hop inside this railway ride.
Sky to sea,
Meet you at the yard near Harbour Key!
[Outro – fading rail ambience]
Next stop…
The end of another distant light…
(Our destination is finally in sight)
