  • No hope of rescue
    I'm trapped here alone
    If I don't dig my own way out, I'll die here

    Gave my loyalty too soon
    Now the forked-tongue piper's bill is due

    Weather is shifting
    So cold, going numb
    Through a pinhole of light, I see vultures circling

    Bottom feeders pick my skin
    Weathered brain a parasite within

    Ego pulverized
    No better medicine
    Angels have been advised
    Don't want no requiem

    I'll just haunt you like a phantom limb
    I'll just haunt you like a phantom limb
    Gonna wear you like a second skin
    I'll haunt you like a phantom limb

    Every new second
    Getting harder to breathe
    No matter which side I end up on, this ain't over

    My regrets are many, true
    Still so much worse lies ahead for you

    Ego pulverized
    No better medicine
    Angels have been advised
    Don't want no requiem

    I'll just haunt you like a phantom limb
    I'll just haunt you like a phantom limb
    Gonna wear you like a second skin
    I'll haunt you like a phantom limb Writer/s: Jerry Cantrell, Michael A. Inez, Sean H. Kinney, William B. Duvall
