Twelve streetlights all lined up
Number thirteen has burned out
Vegan shoes applaud the stars
In the cold night of January
Between the lanes a splitting heartbeat
Empty houses spinning by
Wolfing breaths consume the night
As the whole world shuts its tinted eyes
Holy, holy hold the hands
Abandoned hearts cannot stand fast
Future knows nothing of the past
And the tortured smells of home
Icy fog slicks off the street
A ghostly moonbeam exposes two closed eyes
Tonight the world is trapped in silence
And the sky stands frozen in time
Roads turn into railroad tracks
Walking slows and halts mid-stride
Screaming steel explodes the night
And blinding light meets arms held wide
