"i'm only a body to this person," i thought at the time. eventually that line became the chorus, but over the years since i began writing it, my frustration with the subject matter -- greed, abuse, lack of empathy -- broke through into a satirical parroting-back of the things some people would prefer us to be: ever-accommodating supplies of attention and catharsis. i wanted to reclaim those "i'm only a body" lines and transform them into something as haunting on its face as it was to me personally... but i also wanted people to know what a surprise they'll be in for should they view others as such. --- Track: FORTUNE Duration: '4:23' URLs: - https://ohanadyomene.bandcamp.com/track/fortune - https://youtu.be/cLpxTU--0XU Lyrics: |- Gnihtemos rof gnitiaw neeb ev'i Em enifer dna ni emoc Ydob a ylno m'i Ydob a ylno s'ti Ydob a ylno m'i The new gods lie in undertones And always we feel honor-bound That siren song says, "Come along" So we crawl that wicked way back down Lambs turn into wolves these days 'Cause no one's hunting hounds The gentle things are suffering Made monsters on the battlegrounds But beggars can't choose Where winners never lose Ghosts stayed ghosts forever Before you came through Before you Oh, come and revive me Come take what's inside me It's only a body I'm only a body Come in and refine me I've been waiting for something to redesign me Come get what you came for Pretend I was made for you The royals say we must adjust So we bite back our wanderlust Bring back the golden fleece Our money weeps It never asked to rule us Well, I am just a pattern-finding Spot-the-difference machine in Gravity's embrace For just a second I can witness this Where beggars can't choose Where winners never lose Ghosts stayed ghosts forever Before you came through Oh, come and revive me Come take what's inside me It's only a body I'm only a body Come in and refine me I've been waiting for something to redesign me Come get what you came for Pretend I was made for you So come on and try me Come put out the fire in me If that's how you see me If you think it'd be easy
