Phantom Limb

I don't know how,

I don't know how, but they've found me

It's only a matter of time,

Before I'm hanging by a light post in the center of

town

Along with my family

We'll drink to the dead now, just ghosts in the war

fields

Eat bread as the body of a god make believe

These sticks and these stones will break hearts and

split bones

Peace of mind only comes when you realize...

You can't chase away all your demons now

With withered and broken legs...

As your crippled sanity

Swings like a pendulum,

Hanging like a phantom limb

I don't know why,

I don't know why you ever loved me,

Such a low, down right, pitiful fool

Look at you now,

Hanging by a thread

Under a full moon

We'll drink to the dead as we gulp down the blood

We'll chase it with whiskey and swallow the floods

That wash away souls of which I can't forgive

That hover like a phantom limb

You can't chase away all your demons now

With withered and broken legs...

As your crippled sanity

Swings like a pendulum,

Hanging like a phantom limb

Phantom hovering silently,

hanging like the guilty

(2x)

Phantom hovering silently

Dizzy vultures in my head,

Slowly circling the dead

Nauseating nursery rhymes

You can't chase away all your demons now

With withered and broken legs...

As your crippled sanity

Swings like a pendulum,

Hanging like a phantom limb
