If you just stay close as the train passes our station,

You might save the tears of another mourning nation.

Do not hold back, reach around my wrists and scream,

Yell louder than the thoughts I have,

They are still inescapably mean.

If you turn me away from the wreck as it burns,

I might do the same for you when we take turns.

Do not hesitate when the final push comes to shove,

Breach all the safety protocols,

Paint them whiter than doves.
