Hybrid Blinds - Under This Body Lyrics

I'm not trying to stress you out
I hope my presence doesn't intrude
I plead for the benefit of the doubt

Under this body there is light

I bathe in the warmth of your grace
My voice echoes off the impending doom
I cry as you touch my face

Under this body there is light

The soles of your shoes are caked in mud
The soul in your shoes is traced in blood

You wanted to go to school and study some old art
I just couldn't keep my mouth shut cause your life was falling apart
The world is colder than your guidance counselor taught
Well that's what I thought

I sit beside the lake and watch the dragons fly
I can still hear you howling, "Your innocence is a lie"
I'm too discrete and in my own head to get caught
Well that's what I thought

The hour of my birth was the hour of my death
The constant crackle of my bones is driving me deaf
Sing me "La Vie En Rose" so it's the last thing I'll hear this lot
Well that's what I thought
