Phantom Pain

I feel a beating from the hole in my chest
I do my best to suffocate it ‘till it puts me to rest
Watching over me with a cold look in your eye
Put me back in, don’t say sorry, as if I’ll still feel alive
They watch us to succumb to the influence
Taking all the shots that you can
Take it from the front, to the back
Tell me can you feel that?
Tell me how it feels on the outside
Take it from the outside
do you see inside me?
Taking all the shots that you can
Take it from the front, to the back
Tell me can you feel that?
Tell me how it feels on the outside
Take it from the outside
do you see inside me?
do you recognise me?
I don’t think you do
I don’t think you do
I’ve been alone inside an empty space
I’ve been hollow inside
Can any of you see this change in me?
Now tell me do you understand?
Tell me what you see
Can you see? see this change in me
I feel a beating from the hole in my chest
I do my best to suffocate it ‘till it puts me to rest
Watching over me with a cold look in your eye
I don’t want it
I don’t want it, get it out of my head
I seem to reserve a private place in my head for only black & white memories
ah
They told me I was a dead man
eager to fall
eager to feel the ground
Will this body stand the test of time?
black & white memories
I’m always watching you
Put me back in, don’t say sorry, as if I’ll still feel alive
They watch us to succumb to the influence
