lyrics

My body is falling apart
I leave pieces behind me everywhere I go
Now I am scattered far
On crime-scenes and streets across southern ontario
Been living out too many lies
Like Roman candles tracing a line
My rose-coloured glasses
Were shattered on the ground
But I've still got 'em on my face

I'm trying to keep it together
As the wind tears the tears from my eyes
I can still feel something's been severed
I can still feel these phantom limbs of mine

A wise man once told me
Luminous beings are we
Diffused and shattered
Like rounded glass from the sea
But my vision is steady
Even as the photons scatter
And my body is in revolt
Against all this crude matter

I'm trying to keep it together
As the wind tears the tears from my eyes
I can still feel something's been severed
I can still feel these phantom limbs of mine
