[Verse 1] It's a persistent pain, I don’t understand I cut off the hand, but I feel it anyway I stitched it up, tried to keep it clean Still the blood runs silent, somewhere in between [Chorus] Phantom pain, you’re living in my skin I let you go, but you keep crawling in Bitter taste of what I can’t undo I’m bleeding out, but it’s all old news [Verse 2] I count the lines I can’t uncross Trace the ghosts of every loss I took the blade, made the choice Now I’m haunted by the shape of a shadow in your place [Chorus] Phantom pain, you’re living in my skin I let you go, but you keep crawling in Bitter taste of what I can’t undo I’m bleeding out, but it’s all old news [Bridge] So here’s to the wounds that never heal To the echoes only I can feel I’ll write them out, let them fade away But the phantom pain is here to stay [Instrumental Break] [Outro] Phantom pain, the body’s memories I crossed the lines, so there’s no peace for me Phantom pain, are you here to stay? It’s all old news… the ache remains
