iPhone recorded vocal/guitar cover of
Pedro the Lion’s “Transcontinental”
Engine severs lower legs
I feel my bruised heart beating
Spinal cord remains intact
Still sending and receiving
Laying back on shoulder blades
Cargo rushing past
Missing limbs beneath the cars
Twitching on the tracks
Click clack now handicapped
North Am transcontinental
I remember as I bleed
Certain tales of bravery
A man who’s legs were trapped beneath
A fallen evergreen tree
He decided he would chop them off above the knee
To sacrifice his shins and feet to make his torso free
The luxury of having been spared the hard part
You’d think would be enough for me to pull this off
But I’m left to bleed to death
Now all the man I’ve ever been
North Am transcontinental
iPhone recorded piano/vocal cover of
Elliott Smith’s “I Didn’t Understand”
Thought you’d be looking for the next in line to love
Then ignore, put out, and put away
And so you’d soon be leaving me alone like I’m supposed to be
Tonight, tomorrow, and every day
There’s nothing here that you’ll miss
I can guarantee you this is a cloud of smoke
Trying to occupy space
What a fucking joke
What a fucking joke
I waited for a bus to separate the both of us
And take me off, far away from you
‘Cause my feelings never change a bit
I always feel like shit
I don’t know why, I guess that I just do
You once talked to me about love
And you painted pictures of a never never land
And I could have gone to that place
But I didn’t understand
I didn’t understand
I didn’t understand
