Lyrics

Transcontinental

[Verse 1]

Engine severs lower legs

I feel my bruised heart beating

Spinal cord remains intact

Still sending and receiving

[Verse 2]

Lying back on shoulder blades

The cargo rushing past

Missing limbs beneath the cars

Twitching on the tracks

Click clack, now handicapped

North AM transcontinental

[Verse 3]

I remember as I bleed

Certain tales of bravery

A man whose legs were trapped beneath

A fallen evergreen tree

He decided he would chop them off above the knee

Sacrifice his shins and feet to set his torso free

[Verse 4]

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
