Gimme Back

I need my hands
I need my feet
Gimme my soul
I'm incomplete
I need my eyes
I want my teeth
Gimme my scope
Give me my beliefs
Oh here I hang on this hook, line and sinker
Don't take the skin off my fingers
I need my arms
My back is bent
I want my hope
I'm deficient
I need my blood
I want my space
Gimme my dream
I rest my case
Chorus
Like a fire without a flame
Desert with no rain
I need my face
I want my beat
Gimme my pulse
I'm in retreat
I need my hair
I want my voice
Gimme my vision
Gimme back my choice
Chorus
Like a fire without a flame
Desert with no rain
Oh mountain high
I'm in so deep
Look down, on I
Take these chains from off my feet
I'm a fire without a flame
Desert with no rain
I want my beat
I'm incomplete
I want my face
I rest my case
