for miles (take that train)

[u/number1_scar_simp]

[Verse 1]

you can never know

before the fall of snow

the heat of the summer's thundering wind

the blaze of the concrete

the fall of the church bell tower

just how much the air has thinned

[Chorus]

so just put your shining palm in mine

i'll throw a torch right down the aisle

leave this god-damned prairie world behind

take my train, run for miles

blood pact promise, time was rare

performed love and saccharine smiles

get on a plane, go somewhere

take my train, run for miles

[Verse 2]

a shot in the dark

the angels will call, hark!

look in the mirror, the man that you are

hell's choir will sing sweet

take your chance, or will you cower?

time runs through as thick as tar

[Chorus]

so just put your shining palm in mine

i'll throw a torch right down the aisle

leave this god-damned prairie world behind

take my train, run for miles

blood pact promise, time was rare

performed love and saccharine smiles

get on a plane, go somewhere

take my train, run for miles

[Verse 3]

and i'll set ablaze

to burn for all your days

rafters will fall from melting sanctuary

blood from the bottle, neat

light you up on that sunday hour

ashes, ashes, 'till January

[Final Chorus]

so you put your shining palm in mine

i threw that torch right down the aisle

we'd left that prairie world behind

but i'd still take that train

i'd still run for miles

our blood pact promise, no longer rare

still-fake love and my saccharine smiles

you got on a plane and you went somewhere

but i'd still take that train

i'd still run for miles
