"White," a.k.a. "Train, not Sky"
What's this white circle --
End of the tunnel; is it
An oncoming train?
He hopes it's so bright it burns
Holes in the asphalt.
They used to go weak as bone
Crushed under tires.
His wife's loveless eyes, gone now
Into heartless seas.
Turn off the damn lights before
They eat through his head.
Metallic oil, smell of road,
And blood and headlights.
Of living in whitest light.
The circle fades out.

"White," a.k.a. "Train, not Sky"
What's this white circle --
End of the tunnel; is it
An oncoming train?
- End of the tunnel
If such a thing lives in this
World of betrayal.
He hopes it's so bright it burns
Holes in the asphalt.
- He hopes it's so bright
Teen-age girls go blind and weep.
Crawl to their daddies.
They used to go weak as bone
Crushed under tires.
- They used to go weak
He was the light in their lives.
Spotlight. Spot-lit star.
His wife's loveless eyes, gone now
Into heartless seas.
- His wife's loveless eyes,
Eaten down to whitest white.
She can't see him now.
Turn off the damn lights before
They eat through his head.
- Turn off the damn lights.
The taste of metal isn't
Smooth tunnel train track.
Metallic oil, smell of road,
And blood and headlights.
- Metallic oil smell
This road is the end of his
Tunnel, after all.
Of living in whitest light.
The circle fades out.
