sunset limited

twin mattress on the floor
i don't mind anymore

this place is just a moral leper colony
full of eager terminal commuters

the fiery pegs in the offensive holes
they have no flowers for the status quo

let's make our belief illegal again
then this ridiculous game of dozens can end

forced labor camp worker won the lottery
led him out to slaughter just this morning

found myself slipping into manual override
had to kill the old man again

broke bread with a new friend
played the next level on co-op to win

helped keep me nailed down to the platform
when the sunset limited came screaming by

the primacy of self
plotting out my own earthly endless chase

the primacy of this grace
a drowning pool of second chances
