before anything else, this is ultimately a demo! it will be edited more when i go through the big album cleanup later this year, but i have a soft spot for where it is right now, and i don't want to make any more changes until i know what it's going to be paired with. anyway!
it's difficult for me to talk about this song. i started writing it three years ago in response to the clarion call of a very negative relationship that an ex was trying to revive. "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.

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
