Obeying the Body's Want
Location
The bones they scream in volumes that grow
I hear them begging to show
They want to press pass the barriers
They want me to learn “no”
It scares me as much as it thrills me
To take it all in and see
A better side of what I thought impossible
All I really had to do was believe
Now I feel it all slimming down
I can feel the emptiness in this gown
I’m falling deeper in the fabrics
I let myself fall, let myself drown
I learn to feed off the pain
No room for anything to gain
If I dance will you whisper you love me?
Is it all really so insane?
