Phantom Limb Songtext

von Polkadot Cadaver

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
