Local Train Flow

Last train out, doors stay wide

Watch the city slide outside

Vendor selling gajre to a tired soul

Office bags heavy but the dreams stay whole

Bhajan group clapping in the second class

Watching every building like a looking glass

Hand on the pole and my mind on the beat

Notebook open on a crowded seat

Every face here got a different fight

We all ride the same line into the night

Next stop, next stop

We don't ever really stop

Local train flow, swaying on the line

Dreams in the doorway, wind in my spine

Station to station, verse after verse

Local train flow, city's my universe

Sea link shining like a silver vein

Thinking about the people that I left in the rain

Rent is rising and the pressure's real

But the rhythm of the rails teaches me to feel

Mind the gap, mind the gap

Life's a song and I'm writing it in rap

Local train flow, swaying on the line

Dreams in the doorway, wind in my spine

Station to station, verse after verse

Local train flow, city's my universe

Last stop, home

Never alone
