Limb By Limb - Phish

The shoulder that I leaned on was carved out of stone

But when I’m done freezing I want to be alone

Never want my hand cut off

Never want a hacking cough

Never need a cliffside push

Never turn my brain to mush

Always give me what I lack

Always take the best parts back

Always recognize your fate

Always just a moment late

Left is where I always turn

Left is how I’m forced to learn

Left the route my walking takes

Left alone with my mistakes

Up against a person who

Up 'til now I never knew

Up from hell the answer blew

Up or down it’s up to you

Drop me off the chinese wall

And peel my fingers off the rim

I come unglued while in mid-air

And land to reform

Limb by limb

And I am taken far away

Lingering slowly and melting away

Tossed with the salad and baled with the hay

Pooling like water that drips from above

Trampled by lambs and pecked by the dove
