Body of Years/Gouge Away Songtext
von Mother Mother

All the remains of a cadaver of days
I keep hidden away, keep them there just in case
I wanna visit that place
Blow the dust from the bones
Off a body of years that I leave all alone

Just a body of years
See the skin disappears
And the blood turns to stone
In a body of years, now a pile of bones
Like a sheet of veneer
Each a piece of my soul
It′s a body of years that I leave all alone
It's just a body of years, now a pile of bones
You know

Old soul who falls down
Can′t stop trippin' on these
Old roads I go down
(Get back up and get my)


Foot in the door
And my face on the page
Make my mark in the world
With a bat and a blade
It's a body of work, that you can never change
Like a body of years, that you take to your grave

It′s a body of years that I leave all alone
It′s just a body of years, now a pile of bones
Like a sheet of veneer
Each a piece of my soul

Old soul who falls down
Can't stop tripping on these
Old roads I go down
Get back up and I′m a (body of years)
Old soul who falls down (body of years)
Can't stop tripping on these (body of years)
Old roads (body of years)

It′s just a body of years that I leave all alone
It's just a body of years, now a pile of bones
Like a sheet of veneer
Each a piece of my soul
Like a pile of shit I can′t seem to forget


Just a body of years that I leave all alone
Tell-tale diary pages
They unveil a ghost from the ages
When bodies of years were breaking from all of the weight
Of diary pages
Tell-tale diary pages, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Gouge away
You can gouge away
Stay all day, if you want to
Missy aggravation
Some sacred questions

You stroke my locks
Some marijuana
If you got some
Gouge away
You can gouge away
Stay all day, if you want to

Sleeping on your belly
You break my arms
You spoon my eyes
Been rubbing a bad charm
With holy fingers
Gouge away
You can gouge away
Stay all day, If you want to

Alright, thank you so much, folks
Very exciting to be here
We love this city, and, uh
We appreciate the invitation
From Apple and iTunes
It's a great stage
I personally have a dysfunctional relationship with technology
And don't spend enough time in Apple stores
But, uh, this is a nice way to redeem myself, I think
And this was great, thanks for showing up, guys
