Nightride

Strangled words in the dim light
Feelings fall and turn to ice
Where the amber heals the desolation
Of the wound deep in you tonight

This is a nightride with stones in your pocket
This is a nightride to your half-life
This is a nightride down to your railroad
And you've never felt so cold

You ruled the world for a moment
Thought you were in the kingdom of love
You were fooled by your own fantasies
And she kicked you in the balls

This is a nightride to burn your poetry
This is a nightride to smash up your guitar
This is a nightride down to your graveyard
To see who you really are

This is a nightride with your monkey
This is a nightride with the Devil on your case
This is a nightride to your nightmares
It's time to cut to the chase

This is a nightride with stones in your pocket
This is a nightride to your half-life
This is a nightride down to your railroad
And you never felt so cold
