Platform 89 - Employed To Serve

I passed you today

You don’t hold yourself

The same way you used to

Back when you, you still had a smile

It’s cold outside

And that train is not, is not taking you home

Condemned to live on the threshold

There is no love for you

Stripped from your birth right, birth right is death

Where were they when you needed them

Unwanted children of this lonely world

Misery loves company

Chained to misery

Keep your head high however you can

Topping up so you don’t hollow out

To replace where your heart used to be

Keep your head high however you can

Topping up so you don’t hollow out

Sick with jealously of all with love in their lives

Guarded backs

On the threshold of the warmth of your world

And the bleakness outside

Just for a glimpse of your world

I’d do fucking anything

Stuck in purgatory

Trapped in death’s waiting room

That train came in the end

Fade into the night
