Lyrics: Ella Joy Meir
Music: Ella Joy Meir
Is my body my home
or is it my prison?
Am I the sum of my bones?
If they’d crack, would I miss em?
Is my body my own
or is it your prism?
Do I love what I own?
Will it ever stop shapeshifting?
I’ve waited for years to fit in
the right blend, the right curves, the right thin
Twisted my words so I could feel (in)
anything but myself
Was hungry for change, it never came
Still in the front row of this game
How do I look me in the eye
without going insane?
Is my body my home
or is it my prison?
Am I the sum of my bones?
If they’d crack, would I miss em?
Is my body my own
or is it your prism?
Do I love what I own?
Will it ever stop shapeshifting?
I’ve tied all the knots, did all the deeds
married the monster, she’s the only thing I feed
I’ve held my head high, held my head down
she’s always the jewel, always the crown
I’ve waited so long to begin
Didn’t realize it was me doing the bargaining
My mind is a maze, my thoughts stick like gum
Is it me on the floor or am I holding the gun?
Is my body my home
or is it my prison?
Am I the sum of my bones?
If they’d crack, would I miss em?
Is my body my own
or is it your prism?
Do I love what I own?
Will it ever stop shapeshifting?
