Story behind the song
These lyrics were originally written in 2000 when I was working with a guy in Raleigh named David Raines. Dave had this Riff that was a heavy, Dark, King's X kind of thing. This was shortly after my divorce and alienation from my daughter, Bekah. The band didn't last, but i took the lyrics with me. . .during the spring of 2003, after the losing Bekah, I reworked the song with a different melody and lyrics. The loss of a child leaves an scar that will never heal. The nature of that loss, to death or divorce, is irrelevant. A parent should NEVER have to lose their child.
Lyrics
Amputated Cut off A part of me torn out And it’s lost It’s Gone, Gone. . . I’ll never really heal But still I can feel. . . Phantom pain A memory of touch Oh I’ve lost so much I’m Hurt Crippled by the blade In this world I’ve made I still feel Your touch upon my hair A place where I belong I know that you’re not there Now you’re gone. . . Amputated Cut off Will we ever grow again Or ever be the same You were The finest part of me Forever will you be. . . I still feel Your touch upon my hair A place where I belong I know that you’re not there Now you’re gone. . . Amputated
