Phantom Limbs Lyrics

I've come to realize

Getting over people

Is a lot like cutting off

One of your own limbs

Despite needing it

For everyday things,

You are forced to cut it off

For logic unreasonable

You will gain phantom limbs

As you will create

Phantom replacements

Subconsciously of those you loved

It's like your limbs will never be there

When you need them

But you'll always have the sensation

That they're still there

You will still need them to operate

But you will not have them

You will not be whole, ever again

But there is nothing you can do about it

Getting over a person

Is exactly like losing a limb

So please don't try to get over so many people

Lest you end up in a box, Helena

You will gain phantom limbs

As you will create

Phantom replacements

Subconsciously of those you loved

It's like your limbs will never be there

When you need them

But you'll always have the sensation

That they're still there
