01. Transcontinental

Engine severs lower legs
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 set 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

02. I Am Always the One Who Calls
03. Political Science [Randy Newman Cover]
04. Metal Heart [Cat Power Cover]
05. Slow and Steady Wins the Race
06. Let Down [Radiohead Cover]
