Alice in Chains
Phantom Limb
[Verse 1]
No hope of rescue
I'm trapped here alone
If I don't dig my own way out
I'll die here
[Post-Verse 1]
Gave my loyalty too soon
Now the forked-tongue piper's bill is due
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
Weather is shifting
So cold, going numb
Through a pinhole of light
I see vultures circling
[Post-Verse 2]
Bottom-feeders pick my skin
Weathered brain, a parasite within
[Pre-Chorus]
Ego pulverized
No better medicine
Angels have been advised
Don't want no requiem
[Chorus]
I'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
Yeah, yeah
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Every new second
Getting harder to breathe
No matter which side I end up on
This ain't over
[Post-Verse 3]
My regrets are many, true
Still so much worse lies ahead for you
[Pre-Chorus]
Ego pulverized
No better medicine
Angels have been advised
Don't want no requiem
[Chorus]
I'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
