Phantom Limb

I don't know how, I don't know how

But they've found me

And 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 the 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

Piece 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 lowdown 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 the souls 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

Phantom hovering silently

Hanging like the guilty



Dizzy vultures in my head

Slowly circling the dead

Nauseating nursery rhymes echo... 



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
