[Intro – distorted radio transmission]
Carbon Codas here…
Voluntarily lying across another blasphemous track…
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… err?
(to no avail!)
…
Good thing trains always keep coming back around! (Right round!)
[Verse 1]
Yeah,
With my mind spiraling in real time,
(All hail tunnel vision!!)
Moving like a swish, so fast,
And before you know it…
We’re flying right through another connection divide!
[Pre-Chorus]
We’re en route,
Not a single
HEY! (HEY!)
Heading straight toward the light!
[enthusiastic train conductor voice]
“All aboard!
This is your FINAL boarding call!”
[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.
(YEAH, WE’RE RIGHT ON TIME!)
Move with we,
Hop inside this railway ride.
From sky to sea,
Meet you at the yard near Harbour Key !
[Verse 2]
Slide aside,
Avoid collision,
Ahh! EMERGENCY STOP!
Sparks are flaring,
Ouch!
They burn just like intrusive thoughts!
Metal on metal,
SCREECHING …OH, SO LOUD!
Can you catch me?
Dissociating,
peaked somewhere up above emotion!
We’re too far in,
And I can’t even tell if I’m my own friend or foe?
A psyche truly stuck in Loco motion!
Ahh,
A mind & body filled with iron nails.
Spikes kept in place,
All in thanks to a locomotive’s halogen glow!
[Interlude]
Signals flicker far away,
In the dead of night.
Every track’s got somewhere to go,
Entering every tunnel chasing light.
[Verse 3]
Balanced on the rail,
Steel humming underneath our feet.
Eyes caught hard on red flashing lights!
Careful though —
You’ve gotta know,
Many crossed these lines before —
But not all made it through.
⸻
[Bridge – atmospheric]
Static on the radio,
Pressure on the brakes.
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.
(YEAH! WE’RE RIGHT ON TIME!)
Move with we,
Hop inside this railway ride.
From 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…
Okay, bye.)
