The Body Lyrics

My baby hid a body in the coffin by the door

The girl in the mirror,

She saw her no more

There in the flat,

Uses the casket as her coffee table

My baby makes about as much

Noise as she is able

She feels like a graveyard

The walls hum with her heartbeat

She wails

Come eventide

She won't let you sleep

Unlock the door,

Unlock the door,

Free her

When you're more than just a body

That is heaven

The dead come to rest

When the light is bright

Don't let me rest

Keep my soul alive

Broke every bone in her body in the storm

The shards, they covered every inch of the floor

She walked upon them with a purpose born anew

Oh my darling, watch your step

She is coming for you

She runs through the graveyard,

Grass blades cutting on bare feet

She wails -

A new sound

She won't let you weep

Under the floor,

Under the floor,

Hear her

When you're more than just a body

That is heaven

The dead come to rest

When the light is bright

Don't let me rest

Keep my soul alive

Isn't it strange to think

That somebody becomes a body

When they're no longer living

What's in somebody

That makes them somebody

But only when they're living?

It's strange to think

That you talk about her body

Like she's no longer living

What's in somebody

That makes them just a body

But when they're still living?

Is it a question of the body

Or autonomy?

The dead come to rest

When the light is bright

Don't let me rest

Keep my soul alive

The dead come to rest

When the light is bright

Don't let me rest

Keep my soul alive

(That is heaven

You are heaven

We are heaven

This is heaven)
