Long limbs and falling skin Fragile body that I'm in Your eyes trace my skin And trap me in the body that I'm in Your hands feel like knives My skin can't breathe you're suffocating me The sight of creation confined to your desire Give me back my body Just let me go Let me have my body Soft lines in blowing wind Formless body that I'm in Your mind has me pinned Whose body am I in Your hands feel like knives My skin can't breathe you're suffocating me The sight of creation confined to your desire Give me back my body Just let me go Let me have my body

about

Body is about my lived experience with autism. “Feet” and “Hand” both portray stimming in situations of sensory overload (counting, tapping fingers, pacing). “Mouth” describes the feeling of being unable to articulate my thoughts or relate with others, and instead feeling comforted by nature and music. The title track describes reclaiming my body from objectification and victimization from society and using it as my own source of creativity. “Eye” chronicles the intensity and range of emotions felt from eye contact throughout the day, and eventually the feeling of closing my eyes to sleep.
