Engine 9

My oh my

Oh my my

Is this the way to die?

Is this the way to dream?

Is there anymore time?

Is this the silent scream?

Tried to bend around

Tried to save it all

Tried to save your world

Tried to catch your fall

Engine, engine

Number Nine

Going down the Mountain Line

Going down too fast to stop

Number Nine

Time now to die

Dinner with Satan

Or 

Breakfast with God

Is it wrong that I want it all?

To sing from the roofs of love

To bring the dead along

My baggage is heavy see

This is the way it’s got to be.

True love belongs to the dead 

Turn it on

True love cannot be found

In my head.

Coherent thoughts

F**k it all

Watch it all rot

Hear the call

Sail through the bend

Try to understand

Number Nine was too fast

Went over the tracks

And sailed through the sky

A Moment too brief

A moment of grief 

Sorry for the fat lie

The fight is done

And now we plunge 

Back down

We lunge

Into ground

This is it

There are no goodbyes

There are no more lies

This is it 

The engine is on fire

The cars all mangled

Bodies burnt where they lay

Lovers entangled.

I dreamt this moment

I screamed so silent

The days move along

And at the bottom we wait.

Thanks very much for the read and the comment. I do tend to write in an insane fashion at times. If you liked this might I suggest reading "Of your evil Sun aka SOP 69".

[Matching Socks]

You're welcome. Is that suggestion one of yours? I'll have a look

[eatmills]

[eatmills]

Thank you. I am glad you felt that while reading it, it means much to me.

[joshua deathdealer]

This reads like a song. It's thought provoking and holds great rhythm. " True love belongs to the dead"...greatest line ever. lol Excellent work.

[eatmills]

Thanks for yhe comment joshua. I did in fact write this half song like. And by all means if you can ever fit that line into a conversation do so.

[Mockingbird]

conveys loss, despair and an underlying frustration. great job.

[eatmills]

Tried to grab hold of something that wasn"t there. I realize that now. What remains will always remain. Only the ones that tried; failed. The ones whom did not try; lost.

Cheers lol, and again thanks for the comment.
