I can understand why John's never released this one. It's just a raw nerve, an open wound of a song. Just this stark and naked song about parental abuse.
You have got That look in your eye In the pinprick point where kindness goes to die I'll be six years old next year You erase me You'll be sorry You always feel sorry later on When you come around to say so I will be gone And in my place meet my letter perfect body double You erase me When i got ready To set out on my own Took up the reigns myself all through you Dug the spurs in clean down to the bone But all that comes later Now there's only you and me And the replica where my body used to be You can go ahead and hit him He feels no pain at all You erase me You erase m e

You have got
That look in your eye
In the pinprick point where kindness goes to die
I'll be six years old next year
You erase me
You'll be sorry
You always feel sorry later on
When you come around to say so
I will be gone
And in my place meet my letter perfect body double
You erase me
When i got ready
To set out on my own
Took up the reigns myself all through you
Dug the spurs in clean down to the bone
But all that comes later
Now there's only you and me
And the replica where my body used to be
You can go ahead and hit him
He feels no pain at all
You erase me
You erase m

really beautiful that he puts the riff from pseudothyrum song at the end of this
He played this song at the 7/20/19 Union Transfer concert. Had us all in tears.
Fucking OOF I needed to cry today
this is a song with the same four chords.....
he had something on his mind and he didnt want to squander the moment trying to come up with a better way to say what he wants to say
