in the oceans of ink
  long black ribbons of cars
  and in the taxi
  you ask me how I'm doing
  but you already know
   
  beyond, beyond is not through
  its only a reflection of you
  and something at the window
  it motions with its fingers
  calling me beyond
   
  the sadness is mine
  the sadness is mine
  its why you're not healing me
  and whatever has come for me
  oh I can give you whatever you're wanting
  just take it and spare me spare me
  please oh tell me this is only a warning/no
  please have mercy let me go
   
  if only a day to let her know
  without her love I'm nothing at all
  the change is happening and I'm almost gone
  in her heart is my faith
  and it wins against the sadness
   
  the train it moves through the desert
  the horses they will challenge its stride
  and into the boxcar she leaps
  and is my hero
  and penetrates the demons inside
   
  the clouds they pass
  but they're moving so fast
  as I watch them collide
  collide and collapse in her arms like a newborn child
  I am at one reborn
   
  the fog in the mote
  as he grabs me by the throat
  it lifts as she comes
  she opens her cloak and the color of blood
  it is the sign of what now must come
   
  deny deny me my destiny
  I am not ready to go
  I am the horror that brings us to the morning
  where I will have to stand up and fight
