"Phantom Limb" lyrics

The curtain falls on another day
And it's hard to say where all the time has gone to
Then you start up again while running on "Empty"
And the hill you gotta climb is as tall as it's always been

Everything ends
Right where it started from
Returning to the void we were in before all this began
And we leave mostly the same
Just a little less sane

Hold me again
Hold me like last time
And don't let me win
When I'm at war with myself

Yeah, hold me again
Hold me back like the last time
Until I give in
And I stop fighting myself

Yeah, hold me again
Hold me down like the last time
And don't let me win
When I'm at war with myself

Yeah, hold me again
Hold me just like the last time
Until I give in
And I stop fighting myself

And then it ends
And I'm back in my skin

Give it time
Everything breaks
And the cross you always thought that you'd have to bear
Is now somebody else's
And maybe always was
But the weight of it still presses you down
Like some phantom limb

Well, everything ends
Right where it started from
Returning to the void we were in before all this began
And we leave mostly the same
Just a little less sane
And we learned how to complain

Break me again
Break me like last time
And don't let me win
Until these pieces all fit

Yeah, break me again
Break me just like the last time
Because surrender is just another name
For giving back the things I stole from you

Hold me again
Hold me like last time
Until I give in
And I stop fighting myself

Yeah, hold me again
Hold me back like the last time
And don't let me win
When I'm at war with myself

Yeah, hold me again
Hold me down like the last time
And don't let me win
When I'm at war with myself

Don't let me win

Don't let me win
