Severed Hand - Pearl Jam

Big man standing behind an open door

Said, «leave your lady on the cement floor.»

«Got some kicks, wanna take ride?»

I said, «Yeh,…»

«Take your pick, leave yourself behind.»

I said «Yeh,…»

I’ve no fear but for falling down

so look out below, I am falling now

Oh please understand, I just need my friend

a way home.

Tried to walk, found a severed hand,

recognized it by the wedding band.

«It's okay, do you want some more?»

I said, «Yeh,…»

«You'll see dragons after 3 or 4…»

I said, «Yeh,…»

«Understand, I’m not falling down»

I said, «Look around, the room’s taller now,…»

I can’t close my eyes, cause I see the sound

in waves.

In waves, 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.
