about

Limbs is an ode to an old friend who committed suicide in his early twenties. In his mid to late teens, this friend began using and distanced himself over the years. The song is inspired by friendship, separation, pain, and the anger that came from the institutionalized failure to care for young men and women with mental illness.

lyrics

Watched you count the rings of the limbs that you severed
Tighten up your grip as you cut the line

Bottle up that hate and set it down to boil
Goddamn this wretched fate set deep beneath the soil

I remember all the good times
Beneath the trees, beneath the street signs
The blood washed out
And your years ran thin
And you lost count of all these severed limbs

Count your walls and think them holy
Held up your roof to keep from folding in
On empty chairs to hold your broken body
You were so scared

I remember all the good times
Beneath the trees, beneath the street signs
The blood washed out
And all your years ran thin
And you lost count of all these severed limbs

And I remember dirty blood
'Neath the limbs you left there in the flood

I remember all the good times
Beneath the trees, beneath the street signs
The blood washed out
And all your years ran thin
And you lost count of all these severed limbs
I remember dirty blood
And I remember dirty blood
