From the recording Trans-Mountaineer
“I know I’ll stitch my life up. I keep searching for the sutures, I’m a boy trapped in a man”, cries the TRANS-MOUNTAINEER in this melancholic Folk ballad. Brimming with profound lyrical sincerity sung with a gritty voice, the tune features authentic fingerpicking acoustic, ambient 70's Wurlitzer & a mournful harmonica.
Lyrics
I’ve got this strange feeling.
’Times I fear for the future,
And all these best laid plans.
I know I’ll stitch my life up.
I keep searching for the sutures.
I’m a boy trapped in a man.
I’m a boy trapped in a man.
Oh, life is more than a paycheck,
The nuclear family,
The Cookie Cutter home,
And all that shit you own,
Yes, inside you feel alone.
My mother is a mockery
Of everything she used to be.
My father never says a word.
They’ve forsaken their family
For copious commodities,
Yet love they can’t afford.
Oh, love they can’t afford.
Oh, life is more than a paycheck,
The nuclear family,
The Cookie Cutter home,
And all that shit you own,
Yes, inside you feel alone.
Respect my personality,
And my individuality,
This separate sentient soul.
We all need sensitivity,
And love unconditional,
And compassion to be whole.
And, compassion to be whole
Oh, life is more than a paycheck,
The nuclear family,
The Cookie Cutter home,
And all that shit you own,
Yes, inside we feel alone.
Oh, inside we feel alone.
