Ghostlimb - Palimpsest lyrics

Now things are different between me and the world It moves steadily faster To avoid the detail you slip into speech where the memory seeps Like the blood spilling out of a limb soaks the sleeves Or the cheap slight of hand we all play the amputee wings the fight But the war it begins when he wakes from the night He knows that he's lost what he needs We know we lost what we need
