Phantom Limb

 

 

I don’t know just what to say
And I don’t just what to do
Instead of finding my true love
It turns out I’ve been had by you

So now I’ll drink the rivers dry
Let the room spin for a while
So when I look into your eyes
I wont have to fake my smile

All the words that I’ve erased
The monuments that I defaced
They form a path that leads to you
But there is nothing I can do

Why do I still feel the pain
The arthritis of my missing hand
The pretend arm that was never there
Has become my phantom limb

I don’t know just what to say
And I don’t know just what to do
Instead of finding my true love
Ive tried to drink enough for two

Ive worn chains and I’ve worn crowns
Ive cut myself nearly in half
I have sorrows that I’ve tried to drown
I’ve learn to live deep in the past

With all the lovers that I’ve had
And all the faces I’ve adored
Why do my words still feel so sad
Why does my heart still feel ignored

Why do I still feel the pain
The arthritis of my missing hand
The pretend arm that was never there
Has become my phantom limb

Why do I still feel the pain
The arthritis of my missing hand
The pretend arm that was never there
Has become my phantom limb
