Jasper Ash - Phantom Limb Lyrics

[Intro]
Static memories fade to black
Dad's voice cracklin' through the track
Half of me is missin', that's a fact
Like phantom pains that won't look back

[Verse 1]
Lost in translation, cultural drift
Poppin' K to make my mind shift
Father in a hospital bed, mind adrift
Heritage split like a continental rift
Voice memos on my phone, all I got left
His words distorted, feeling f*ckin' bereft
Mixed blood in my veins, never fit in
Bristol streets echo with sirens singin'

[Chorus]
Phantom limb, I still feel you there
Memories scattered everywhere
Half of me is in the air
Disconnected, but I still care
Ghost of you won't disappear
Through the static, crystal clear
Phantom limb, phantom fear
Caught between two worlds right here

[Verse 2]
Piano keys from childhood days
Warped through time in different ways
Ketamine clouds my mental haze
Tryna numb these phantom waves
Culture slips through fingers like sand
Dad's heritage I don't understand
Voice recordings on repeat in my head
Wondering which parts of me are dead

[Bridge]
Glitch in the system, that's what I am
Broken signals, don't give a damn
Between the lines of who I'm supposed to be
Lost in space, can anybody see?
Streets full of voices, protest screams
Mix with memories in my dreams
Father's whispers fade to white
Static filling up the night

[Verse 3]
Hospital monitors beeping slow
Watching pieces of him go
Cultural threads begin to fray
Identity slips further away
Self-medicated just to cope
Dissociation's slippery slope
Heritage split right down the middle
Existence becomes a f*ckin' riddle

[Outro]
Phantom limb still aches at night
Static memories fade to white
Dad's voice echoes, getting weak
Through the noise, I hear him speak
Lost connections, broken ties
Cultural ghosts, they never die
Phantom limb, forever there
In the static-filled air
