The Body I Knew

I just learned to call it mine

I just learned to let it shine

Now it speaks a different tongue and

I don't understand a word

I built a temple

Now the walls are caving in

This is not the body

I knew, but it's still mine

It's still mine

Losing pieces I can't glue

But it's still mine, it's still mine

You can take my hands, my weight

Take the freedom from my legs

But the fire that I found

Is the one thing you can't take

Used to carry my own world

Now the world's too heavy to hold

Every morning something's gone

And I don't know what's next to fall

I built a kingdom

Now the ground is giving in

This is not the body I knew

But it's still mine

It's still mine

Watching me become a stranger

But it's still mine, it's still mine

You can take my grip, my speed

Take tomorrow's certainty

But the voice inside this chest

Is the one thing you won't steal

I was a religion

I was a temple made of gold

Now I'm learning how to pray

Inside a house I don't control

But I'm still holy

Still holy

I'm still holy

This is not the body I knew

But it's still mine

It's still mine

I'm not who I was before

But I'm still here

I'm still here

You can take it piece by piece

Rearrange me till I break

But the boy who learned to burn

Doesn't need your legs to stand

Still mine

Still mine

Still mine

Still mine
