They ask.
Are you guilty?
You say no.
You say yes then
There you go.
On a new path.
You don’t know.
You’ve never been there
Deep breaths, slow.
Slow your breathing.
Now, start seeing
They hurt guilty.
One and all.
Plead you guilty
You will fall
Into a grinder
You won’t find there
Mixtures making freedom.
They want you to see some
Penance, you shall suffer.
Get your tickets ready please!
Oh uh, hello there. How you doing?
Listen, my name is Barry and I'm the Conductor on this train so if you need anything, you just ask me, okay?
The bathrooms are right over there and please, pick up after yourself on account of I clean the place, too.
And uh, seeing as you're not from around here I'll just tell you straight out - although every story you might hear on this train is true, some stories are "truer" than others, if you can read between the rails...
Anyway, thanks for stopping by and, y'all come back now, y'hear?
Have a grand day, friend.
