Removing a Phantom Limb Lyrics


Synthesized bone saw

Transected spectral flesh

Legating ghost limbs

Denying haunted veins

The blood supply, they need to grow and thrive

Negative, genetic codes dissolve

Vapor fumes, from ectoplasmic blood

Fog entombs, the living flesh returns

Reattached, connective tissue stretched

Over bone as muscle fibers clench

Leathered stitch, sewn at a fevered pitch

Cervical, nerve endings writhe and twitch

Removing phantom limbs

in a panicked desperation

A single moment in time

where life and death collide

Extremity detachment, sinew and bone.

A surgical befoulment,

despoilment of outgrowth.

Pools of translucent fluid

Diaphanous dead flesh

Phantasmagoric process

Dismembering delusions
