- 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
