Cover your mouth when you walk outside kid,
your lungs will freeze out here.
As if i didn't know

Walking through clouds of black smoke,
made up of diesel fuel, cigarettes and the the realization,
of just how fast the clock can possibly tick.

The sun IS there buddy,
just hidden behind a never ending sheet of ice,
finding out exactly how fast it can melt out from under you.

Faster trains, running silent on steel rails,
making express calls to homes who wished
the phone could stay quiet,
one more night.

Faster than razors edge meeting friendship,
and leaving it to die in the street.

Faster than blind corners.

Much faster than a heart can skip a beat,
or ten.

So leave your blades at the door friends,
i'll craft one of words,
Mayan sacrifices are the new rage!
Lets pay our penance.

If only we could replace,
the hearts we've already taken.
