About This Track

'Phantom Pain' by Beartooth is a 2021 hard rock track from the album 'Below'. The lyrics sketch a blackly comic bargain with death, with the speaker claiming forgiveness for past wrongs while insisting they are still dead inside, projecting numbness on the outside and craving a “bright side” without really finding it. The mood is resigned, grimly defiant, and self-aware, trading in images of isolation and moral reset.

"Phantom Pain" is a track by Beartooth, from the album Below, released 24th June 2021. The track is 3:51 long. It's filed under Hard Rock. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 2 articles about Beartooth.

Lyrics

Phantom Pain

Struck up a deal with the reaper
Had all my prior transgressions absolved
I've been dosed with the ether
Nobody cares when you're all alone
Still looking for the bright side
I'm in love with the dark side
Still dead on the inside
I look dead on the outside

I shook hands with the devil himself
Just tell me why

I'm so desperate for the answers that you know
'Cause I'm not finding any help when I'm alone
Are we better off as friends?
Just stop the punishment
Burn me 'til the phantom pain is gone
Phantom pain is gone

Struck up a deal with the reaper
He said, "Now your body is mine"
Said I was a keeper
Stay twisted up in my mind
Fresh blood on my hands
Fresh wound in my soul
You're mine in the end
I can't let you go

You might have a chance in hell
Just tell me why

I'm so desperate for the answers that you know
'Cause I'm not finding any help when I'm alone
Are we better off as friends?
Just stop the punishment
Burn me 'til the phantom pain is gone
Phantom pain is gone

I keep rotting away
I keep rotting away

I shook hands with the devil himself
Just tell me why

I'm so desperate for the answers that you know
'Cause I'm not finding any help when I'm alone
Are we better off as friends?
Just stop the punishment
Burn me 'til the phantom pain is gone
Phantom pain is gone

Phantom pain is gone
Oh, time opens all wounds
Time opens all wounds

Time opens all wounds
Time opens all wounds
