lyrics

Part Three – Pivot

Chapter 9: Phantom Limb

I cut it off
The pain was great
It was like suffocating
I tried to breathe
There was no air
None for me
Are there pieces of me that I left behind
On the day I failed
To take my life
To dig my own grave
To seal my own fate
The pieces of me
The ones I left behind
What do they say about me?
Do I take my own life?
Do I dig my own grave?
Do I seal my own fate?

I suppose I couldn't save my life
I knew that I was a failure
I couldn't even save me from myself
I was a failure
Do you want to see the pieces of me?
The one that has no feeling?
Do you want to take another piece of me?
Wanna see how far you can take this?

Now there's nothing left of me, left of me
Come and take the rest of me
Come and try
Now there's nothing left of me, left of me
Come and take the rest of me
Come and try
Now there's nothing left of me, left of me
You won't get the best of me

You'll pay for this
You will see

I suppose I could take your life
But I'll never put all this behind me
It's a sacrifice I've made to be the man that's before you
Do you want to see the pieces of me?
The one that has no feeling
Do you want to take another piece from me?
Wanna see how far you can take this?

Look to the heavens and scream to the sky
Divine intervention why am I before you?
Why did you save me?
I just want to die
Look to the heavens and scream to the sky
Why did you stop me from ending my story?
What did you save me?
I just want to die
Look to the heavens and scream to the sky
In keeping my life I have lost a piece of me?
Why did you save me?
I just want to die
