Every Saturday, we’ll be posting a new illustration by David Lester. The Mecca Normal guitarist is visually documenting people, places and events from his band’s 34-year run, with text by vocalist Jean Smith.
Trapped Inside Your Heart
Trapped inside your heart
You’re trapped inside your own heart
I am a swarm of possibility
That make him feel good or bad
That’s what he needs to know
Trapped inside your heart
You’re trapped inside your own heart
Invoking passion with false memories
A publically manufactured code
Trapped inside your heart
You’re trapped inside your own heart
The movie runs between my fingers
There’s always trouble when you have to invent yourself
It’s not love that I don’t feel
It is the loss of something that never was
Trapped inside your heart
You’re trapped inside your own heart
It is the loss
