  • I can remember the first time I felt my mind
    Turning into a beast of a new kind
    If there's a demon in the line of my aim
    I won't be calling its name
    I would stare at the back of my hand for days
    Reading the wisdom written out for me in my veins
    If there's a demon in the eye of my soul
    I won't be letting you know

    But the light kicks in when I know it's time
    I build my walls, so it's safe to hide
    And the people I love I left behind
    They see too much when they look in my eyes
    Feel no pain and I never cry
    I bleed no blood and I'll never die
    My body's not mine, body's not mine
    Body's not mine, I need no body

    (My body isn't mine)
    (My body isn't mine)
    (My body isn't mine)
    My body's not mine, body's not mine
    Body's not mine, I need no body (my body isn't mine)
    (My body isn't mine)
    (My body isn't mine)
    (My body isn't mine)

    And the past feels like another life
    When the story they somehow all survived
    Repeats itself so many times
    Written cold in blood, heavy as a Bible
    Feel no pain and I never cry
    I bleed no blood and I'll never die
    My body's not mine, body's not mine
    Body's not mine, I need no body

    (My body isn't mine)
    (My body isn't mine)

    When you need my heart, you cry
    You need my body, body
    When you need my heart, you cry
    You need my body, body
    When you need my heart, you cry
    You need my body, body
    When you need my heart, you cry
    You need my body, body
    When you need my heart, you cry
    You need my body, body
    When you need my heart, you cry
    You need my body, body
    When you need my heart, you cry
    You need my body, body

    Is this all you got?
    Is this all you got?
    Is this all you got?
    Is this all you got? (Ceasefire now)
    Is this all you got? (Cease-)
    Is this all you got? (Ceasefire now)
    Is this all you got? (Ceasefire now)
