All I’ve loved so well
All I’ve tried so much
On a damson evening that may be Autumn
The colours I see are darkened leafs
Saying goodbye, standing on the platform
I’m going to board the last train to night-time

Not awake but not asleep
Reflex alone keeps me running
Not a thought, just distant walks
Dark governing trees and black ditches in the road
I was scared to be left there

Menaced by the shadows
Lying on a back seat
Hear the engine hum
Moving now, going home
Distant echoes and distant times
Make it feel like another world
Yawning and asleep

You’ve cried distressed
Betrayed as the mess
Comes to repossess
All you ever need and then some more

At the foot of a bad idea
At the mercy of a faultless system
Tricks and tears and assertions and fears
Glad to be released but believe your ears
When you’re on the outside of truth

Truth knows what truth is
And only that alone
And the truth will lock it’s people up
And never let them get to learn too much
And spiralling around we don’t realise as such

Like life itself a blueprint written
That can never be seen
And you can’t see it because you can’t get outside it
And you can’t get outside it because you’re it
