Ryan Loftus - Bodies Lyrics

Tighter and tighter it begins to wind
The longer I suffer, the more that I find
Tension to seduction, a lustful embrace
Caressed by notions of gender and race

Symbols of a memory attacked
From those notions I detach
A formal state of guided disguise
In this body, I am a lie

A sickening compulsion now guides me to leave
My new addiction is discovery
I spent my memories transgressing foul ways
Inhaling noxious lies, the smog, and the hate

All those frameworks helped me
Suppress my truth's memories
I spent my score breathing
Inhaling noxious lies

Symbols of a memory attacked
From those notions I detach
A formal state of guided disguise
In this body, I am a lie

Unknowing the boundaries shared
Led from those limits there
I conjure the truth I see
There are only words and Bodies

Force fed restriction
I swallowed as not to choke
I thirsted for those colors
But in ocean blue I drowned

Cohorts maim and claw at
Voiceless, coerced bodies
Molded to the mannequin
Of her perception

My other side is now broken
Coerced, the patriarchy **** my form
