Engine severs lower legs
I feel my bruised heart beating
Spinal cord remains intact
Still sending and receiving
Lying back on shoulder blades
Cargo rushing passed
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 whose legs were crushed beneath
A fallen evergreen tree
He decided he would chop them
Off above the knee
Sacrifice his shins and feet
To make his torso free
The luxury of having them spared the hard part
You'd think would be enough for me to pull the off
But I'm left to bleed to death
Now all the man I've ever been
North Am Transcontinental
