Here I Stand Before Me

Lyrics

[Verse 1] My doctor told me that it was time for me to have my X-Rays Of course, I had many nightmares about that fatal day The room was dark and my skeleton was floating on the wall [Pre-Chorus] My voice trembles down inside me I'm trapped way down in my body [Chorus] I, I, I, oh here I stand before me But something's out of place here My mind's eye is missing from my body Well I know it's there, but I can't see where [Verse 2] Well take my fingers, what do fingers really mean to me? You can easily look them up in the dictionary: They call them digits, or technically they're known as the "phalanges" [Pre-Chorus] My joints connected up inside me Way down deep inside my body [Chorus] I, I, I, oh here I stand before me But something's out of place here My mind's eye is missing from my body Well I know it's there, but I can't see where [Bridge] My bones shine brightly, a map of my whole body My vital organs just churn away inside me, someday They're going to stop this motion, and I'll be left with... [Pre-Chorus] My my, the future lay before me Hey hey, deep inside my body [Chorus] I, I, I, oh here I stand before me But something's out of place here My mind's eye is missing from my body Well I know it's there, but I can't see where I can stare and stare, but I can't see where
