lyrics

there is much that calls before the coming of the dawn
thoughts of natural causes sanction my bathroom walls
how dare you force me to make amends
out there you can’t get your body, get your body back

get your body, get your body back
(are you falling)

must be something about failing features all we want to do is
body on back, body on back

I can hear your voice begin to falter, mother’s first born daughter
caught in a trap found where I fall

I can see silently back and forth carefully
mark my words with a dream, I believe, I believe
make me blind terribly, I believe, I believe
body on back, body on back

say your piece, heart of hearts
blasphemous enemy, make it so, vest in me clarity
I can’t see I can't see, lead me
caught in a trap found where I fall

bare your teeth and run while you slander out your mandibles of no curtain calls
only time will tell if years come through parables
are you ready to become the golden child?
hold me steady, you can’t get your body back.

are you falling
(get your body back)

call me by my name
there’s no grace in a call to terms
God this burns
cure alls cure nothin’
but guided hearts and fragile parts
in body hurts in His name

and guided hearts and fragile parts
in body hurts in His name
