Arcade

When this long day is over
When this journey is finally done
Will I feel a sense of meaning
or will I just be numb?

Outside my window
I watch the sun explode
and I wonder to myself
is this the end of the road

Everything seems to churn and burn
only later to lay still
I wonder if somewhere something
is laughing and having a big thrill

I don't want to play
in this penny arcade
All I have are nickles
and a sense I've been betrayed
