No hope of rescue
I'm trapped here alone
If I don't dig my own way out, I'll die hereGave my loyalty too soon
Now the forked-tongue piper's bill is dueWeather is shifting
So cold, going numb
Through a pinhole of light, I see vultures circlingBottom feeders pick my skin
Weathered brain a parasite withinEgo pulverized
No better medicine
Angels have been advised
Don't want no requiemI'll just haunt you like a phantom limb
I'll just haunt you like a phantom limb
Gonna wear you like a second skin
I'll haunt you like a phantom limbEvery new second
Getting harder to breathe
No matter which side I end up on, this ain't overMy regrets are many, true
Still so much worse lies ahead for youEgo pulverized
No better medicine
Angels have been advised
Don't want no requiemI'll just haunt you like a phantom limb
I'll just haunt you like a phantom limb
Gonna wear you like a second skin
I'll haunt you like a phantom limb
