lyrics

I lost my limbs
while you were sleeping
and I couldn't find
where I was to you.
They hid inside
wasn't for safe keeping
stolen arms in line
bending down to you.
I fell in
Wherefore've all my pieces been?
Strung on up, upon your line
Outside
Witness where your folly lies
Twisted up, bound in your mind
Wrapped in time
Never gonna feel your arms bound, wrapped with mine.
I lost my nerve
trustin' only lyin'
painted up so fine
visions real to you.
It broke inside
a whit of what once was
pools of brilliant time
frozen sliced in two.
I fell in
Wherefore've all my pieces been?
Strung on up, upon your line
Outside
Witness where your folly lies
Twisted up, bound in your mind
Wrapped in time
Never never never gonna feel your arms bound, wrapped with mine.
