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 cliff side 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
(And I am taken far away)
Tossed with the salad and baled with the hay

(And I am taken far away)
Pooling the water that drips from above
(And I am taken far away)
Trampled by lambs and pecked by the dove

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
