Severed Hand
(Ed Vedder)
Big man stands behind an open door
Said, ‘leave your lady on the cement floor.’
“got some kicks, want to take a ride?”
I said, “yeah!”
“take your pick, leave yourself behind”
I said, “yeah!”
Ive no fear but for falling down
So look out below I am falling now
Oh please understand I just need, my friend,
a way a way a way home
Tried to walk, found a severed hand
Recognized it by the wedding band
Said “it’s ok, do you want some more?”
I said, “yeah!”
Said “You’ll see dragons after 3 or 4”
I said, “yeah!”
“Under stand I’m not falling down”
I said, “look around, the rooms taller now”,
I can’t close my eyes, ‘cause I see the sound in waves
In wave, lets me stay calm
If I don’t lose control
Explore and not explode
A preternatural other plane
With the power to maintain
Like a tear in all we know
Once dissolved we are free to grow
What is human, what is more?
I’ll answer this when I get home
