Callyou up in the middle of the night.
Like a firefly without a light
You were there like a blowtorch burning
I was a key that could use a little turning
..........
So tired that I couldn't even sleep .
So many secrets I couldn't keep.
I promised myself I wouldn't weep
One more promise I couldn't keep.
.......
It seems no one can help me now,I'm in too deep there's no way out this time I've really led myself astray.
..........
Runaway train ,never going back Wrong way on a 1 way track seems like I should be getting somewhere,somehow I'm neither here nor there..
.......
Can you help me remember how to smile? Make it somehow all seem worthwhile how on earth did I get so jaded life's mystery seems so faded...
I can go where no one else can go, I know what no one else knows.Here I am just a-drownin in the rain with a ticket for a runaway train....
And everything seems so cut and dried day and night, earth and sky. somehow I just don't believe it..
.............
Runaway train. never going back Wrong way on a 1 way track seems like I should be getting somewhere somehow I'm neither here nor there.
........
Bought a ticket for a runaway train.Like madman laughing at the rain.A little out of touch, a little insane,its just easier than dealing with the pain.
..........
Runaway train never going back wrong way on a 1 way track,seems like I should be getting somewhere.Somehow I'm neither here nor there..
.......
Runaway train never going back runaway train, tearing up the track runaway train, burning in my veins I runaway but it always seems the same.....

Know the feeling of night after endless night upon nights of going without sleep…of feeling like a firefly with out a light, of feeling without purpose for after all isn’t a firefly suppose to produce a light?? …the endless heart wrenching deep soul searching and finding that the only way out is going through a hell that in any other time or place would be unimaginable and if not for the experiencing would be an experience truly not able to be conceived of in the mind. Like being locked in a terrifying maze for weeks on end and unable to find the exit…just endless night and night and night without sleep, traveling on but not reaching any destination other that a pain and heartache……… Alex, gosh all goodness Man this is good…not so good to experience I must admit, just good in knowing that there are those who can put into words what others go through and are unable to say in words the personal experiences. I take it that Asylum is a musical group that performs this piece?? I shall have to be on the search for it. In memory I am taken back by the words to a time in my late teens, just before the onset of the twenties…such a maddening time…a time in a maze locked away and in search of purpose…A firefly without a light. ……….THEN to the present Runaway train. never going back Wrong way on a 1 way track seems like I should be getting somewhere somehow I'm neither here nor there. ........ those words speak volumns Runaway train. never going back Wrong way on a 1 way track seems like I should be getting somewhere somehow I'm neither here nor there. ........ Here I am just a-drownin in the rain with a ticket for a runaway train.... And everything seems so cut and dried day and night, earth and sky. somehow I just don't believe it.. ............ Yes, somehow I just don’t believe it…life seems at times so cut and dried. Here I am just a-drownin in the rain…..........guess its no wonder the firefly is without a light….for here I am just a-drownin in the rain. *sigh with a smile* Connie
