Bigger than Texas

In the dark dark tunnel
Where what you want crashes
Head on with what you have
The scream inside has nowhere to go
Internal tremors like verberations on a train track

The scream inside
Malaise and nature’s bastard child
Procrastinating from their very first fuck
Unwilling and unable
To be anything else

You’ll be bigger than Texas
He was once told
A free ticket, get on board
Steam to success
A future foresold

Inside scream now null
Ravelled in disillusion, now dulled
A tangle of cause and effect
Looking for a light through the tunnel of life

Hey mate, try opening your eyes
