lyrics

The loss of a limb, a tragedy
To frolic in pain, most solemnly
Just close your eyes and count to ten
And pray they can attach it again
Scarred for life, unfit to keep
An arm was the price, of this defeat
A clump of flesh was all you held
From now till the end, forever condemned

Please, don't ever leave me
I swear I'll change
Oh, I'm begging you
I promise to make amends
I miss your touch
And the scratching of skin
Just end this pain
My phantom limb

I can't accept, this awful fate
Alone at home, I sit and wait
Through sullen eyes I see my stump
And dream of times before my loss
Broken and torn, re-living the gore
An endless battle, a mental war
Longing for tendons, nerves and more
An obsession that most of us would abhor
