An original called "On Birds and Bodies" - I wrote it over the course of a few months when I was pre-T and beginning T, now playing it almost 5 years later :)
Please consider donating to my Kickstarter! www.kickstarter...
This song is also available for FREE download on my bandcamp in a more developed version: lentilsanddirt...
Because I love you all :))
Lyrics:
Yesterday I found out that my bones are hollow -
when did they plan on telling me that?
So today, for the first time, I'm going to try to fly -
don't test me now.
And my body says "You can't do like you used to, boy,
No, you can't do like you used to."
And what part of "I need this to survive" did you not understand?
It's hard enough to say "I am alive." How could you not understand?
Tomorrow, I'll be found eleven miles west in the grass,
when did they plan on telling me that?
So for now I'll just leave my world behind, I'll just leave my wife behind, yeah.
And my body says "You can't do like you used to, boy.
No, you can't do like you used to."
What part of "I need this to survive" did you not understand?
It's hard enough to say "I am alive." How could you not understand?
I felt like I owned this land,
but now I'm not all I could be
now that I know what I could have been.
I feel like I am whole again,
with solid bones and ripped up skin,
this is all that I've ever been..
And what part of "I need this to survive!" did you not understand?
It's hard enough to say "I am alive." How could you not understand?
How could you not understand?
