Phantom Limb lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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 f*ck it, guess I'll hold you in my missing arms tonight

[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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 f*ck it, guess I'll hold you in my missing arms tonight

[Outro]
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
