Phantom Limb (Rock Version)

I never hated anyone, how I hate you

I hate the way you spoke cause you took away my tongue

Flashback to pitiful devotion to a toxic cult

I hate the battles that we lost and wished we won

And maybe I can make it right

Like a medic in a dog fight

I staunch my wounds as I come home again

And maybe I can clean the mess

Hide the carnage with a tourniquet

As I rock steady just to get through the night

I plug my ears, I shield my eyes, 'cause

You are my phantom limb

I cut you off but I still feel you there

No holy sanctum knows how to excise you

I'm stuck in disrepair

I couldn't lose you if I wanted to, and god knows that I've tried

So fuck it, guess I'll hold you in my missing arms tonight

You were treated like an animal

But never learned to bite

Why do I wish our mouths were filled with rabid suds?

Why would I change the past and risk us having lost our minds?

Guess our defenses mitigated damage done

And maybe I can make it right

Like a medic in a dog fight

I staunch your wounds as I come home again

And maybe I can clean the mess

Hide the carnage with a tourniquet

As we rock steady just to get through the night

I plug your ears, I shield your eyes cause

You are my phantom limb

I cut you off but I still feel you there

No holy sanctum knows how to excise you

I'm stuck in disrepair

I couldn't lose you if I wanted to, and god knows that I've tried

So fuck it, guess I'll hold you in my missing arms tonight

I love you, stay with me, can't lose you, one body

I love you, stay with me, can't lose you, one body

I love you, stay with me, can't lose you, one body

I love you, stay with me, can't lose you, one body
