The shoulder I lean on is carved out of stone
Whem I'm done freezing I want   to  be  alone

VERSE: (F > Fsus4)

Never want my hand cut off
Never want a hacking cough
Never needed cliffs(?) I push
Never turn my brain to mush
Always keeping what I lack
Always take the best parts back
Always recognize your face
Always just a moment late
Left is where I always turn
Left is how I'm forced to learn(?)
Left is where my walking takes
Left alone with my mistakes
Up against a person you...
Up 'till now I never knew
Up from hell the answer blew
Up or down it's up to you

Chorus (slower)
C#      D#            F Fsus4 (F to Fsus4 main theme rhythm)
Drop me off a chinese wok(?)
And peel my fingers off the rim
Come unglued while in mid air
And land to reform
Limb by limb   Fsus4 (F to Fsus4 main theme rhythm)
Drop me off a chinese wok(?)
And peel my fingers off the rim
Come unglued while in mid air
And land to reform
Limb by limb  <>

Chanted: Limb by limb by limb by limb (Mike and Fish)
Sung: And I am am taken far away (Page)

Trey:
Finger is slowly melting away
Tossed with a salad and bailed with the hay
Pooling like water that drips from above
Trampled by lambs and pecked by the dove
Silence is slowly smothering me
Nothing I touch and nothing I see
Posseses a pulse so it's fit to be seen
If I am a drone then where is my queen
Lingering, slowly melting away

*above lines repeated randomly*

ho = Hammer on
po = Pull off
