Limb By Limb


The shoulder that i leaned on was carved out of stone
but when i'm done freezing i want to be alone
Never want my hand cut off
never want a hacking cough
never need a cliffside push
never turn my brain to mush
Always give me what i lack
always take the best parts back
always recognize your fate
always just a moment late
Left is where i always turn
left is how i'm forced to learn
left the route my walking takes
left alone with my mistakes
Up against the person who
up 'til now i never knew
up from hell the answer blew
up or down it's up to you
Drop me off the chinese wall
and peel my fingers off the rim
i come unglued while in midair and land to reform
limb by limb
And i am taken far away...
Lingering slowly melting away
tossed with the salad and baled with the hay
pooling the water that drips from above
trampled by lambs pecked by the dove
