  • At the end of the world you said
    Your body fooled you, your body moved you
    And now you can't go home again
    You were crying, you're so confused, why
    Your body fooled you, your body moved you
    Out of that thing that you were in

    In a cold sweat, blood on your arms
    You want somebody, you caused the harm
    You made it so you had to confess
    'Cause you can't hide that bad a mess

    You were high, numb, spacing out
    You messed around, and you failed the test
    You made it so you had to undress
    The body that's beneath all of this

    And at the end of the world
    Your eyes, they fooled you
    Your eyes, they move you
    Now you're seeing way too far

    Scared, lost, under duress
    You're begging someone for forgiveness
    You don't know what you had to address
    Your body fooled you, your body moved you, yes

    Now what you had to do
    Was figure out why it had to fool you
    Were you lost? How were you blind?
    Were you trying too hard to be kind?

    Was it truth? Was it lies?
    Was it some kind of trap that you devised
    To keep yourself from getting out?

    Ooh, but it hurts so much
    You thought you knew what it was you loved
    Then again, look at this mess
    Your body fooled you, your body moved you, yes Writer/s: Tamara Lindeman
