Here I Stand Before Me

[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
