Bodies Not at War
I've shown up to a million appointments
I've taken all of the pills
And still
When I walk out of this place
It's hard to feel the sun
They all see a disappointment
Just a girl and a broken brain
And every day
The shame is like a thief
And it takes and it takes and it takes
What's left of me
That lady told me once
That she would carry my hope
Cause this body's been a battleground
Since I was nine years old
She promised me it's worth it
And the only way to see is to believe
That this body is not
At war with me
Singing softly in the shower
With a nurse outside the door
Ten minutes hearing my own voice
Seemed to quiet down
The war
She brought me a little piano
I'd quietly start to play
And the melodies for a moment in time
Would somehow make me feel okay
That lady told me once
That she would carry my hope
Cause this body's been a battleground
Since I was nine years old
She promised me it's worth it
And the only way to see is to believe
That this body is not
At war with me
She carried my hope
Since I was nine years old
And now it's mind to hold
That lady told me once
That she would carry my hope
Cause this body's been a battleground
Since I was nine years old
She promised me it's worth it
And the only way to see is to believe
That this body is not
At war with me
I've taken all of the pills
And still
When I walk out of this place
It's hard to feel the sun
They all see a disappointment
Just a girl and a broken brain
And every day
The shame is like a thief
And it takes and it takes and it takes
What's left of me
That lady told me once
That she would carry my hope
Cause this body's been a battleground
Since I was nine years old
She promised me it's worth it
And the only way to see is to believe
That this body is not
At war with me
Singing softly in the shower
With a nurse outside the door
Ten minutes hearing my own voice
Seemed to quiet down
The war
She brought me a little piano
I'd quietly start to play
And the melodies for a moment in time
Would somehow make me feel okay
That lady told me once
That she would carry my hope
Cause this body's been a battleground
Since I was nine years old
She promised me it's worth it
And the only way to see is to believe
That this body is not
At war with me
She carried my hope
Since I was nine years old
And now it's mind to hold
That lady told me once
That she would carry my hope
Cause this body's been a battleground
Since I was nine years old
She promised me it's worth it
And the only way to see is to believe
That this body is not
At war with me
