Body Of Years Lyrics - O My Heart - Mother Mother

All the remains of a cadaver of days, 

I keep hidden away, keep them there just in case. 

I wanna visit that place, 

blow the dust from the bones 

off a body of years that I leave all alone. 

Just a body of years, 

See the skin disappears 

and the blood turns to stone 

in a body of years now a pile of bones. 

Like a sheet of veneer 

each a piece of my soul. 

It's a body of years that I leave all alone.

It's Just a body of years, now a pile of bones. 

You know. 

Old soul who falls down 

can't stop trippin' on these 

Old roads I go down 

get back up and get my foot in the door, 

and my face on the page 

make my mark in the world 

with a bat and a blade. 

It's a body of work that you can't ever change 

like a body of years that you take to your grave. 

It's just a body of years that I leave all alone. 

It's just a body of years, now a pile of bones. 

Like a sheet of veneer, 

Each a piece of my soul.

Old soul who falls down 

Can't stop tripping on these 

Old roads I go down 

Get back up and I'm a 

Old soul who falls down 

Can't stop tripping on these 

Old roads. 

It's just a body of years that I leave all alone, 

It's just a body of years, now a pile of bones. 

Like a sheet of veneer, 

Each a piece of my soul. 

Like a pile of shit I can't seem to forget. 

Just a body of years that I leave all alone. 

Tell-tale diary pages 

They unveil a ghost from the ages 

When bodies of years were breaking from all of the weight 

Of diary pages
