trainrides wide (lyrics by bryan dale. music by dale, haskitt)

tickets saved still
from three trainrides wide
miles of lies fly by
to see the man behind me

so don't look me in the eye, old man
look at the floor while i look down
into your eyes, and through you
i fire words all true, but guarded

and i don't know why it's different now
cause you've killed me for so long
i'm hit hard with simple facts
and lines of numbers proving wrongs

mom says that i'm so tall
and you're just small and wrong
so looking down, i watch the fall
and all my life seems not so long

and i don't know why it's different now
cause you've killed me for so long
i'm hit hard with simple facts
and lines of numbers proving wrongs
but there's power enough to kill me
in tom the liar, sight unseen
but you lie so well i loved you
i knew no other way to be

tickets saved still
because your caring was so rare
rode amtrak miles to cities
full of hate and life not shared

and i don't know why it's different now
cause you've killed me for so long
i'm hit hard with simple facts
and lines of numbers proving wrongs
but there's power enough to kill me
in tom the liar, sight unseen
but you lie so well i loved you
i knew no other way to be
