A song about body love! Something we're all great at, right? RIGHT? riiiiiiight?
***crickets***
These are my two eyelids
This is my one nose
These are my genitalia
These are my ten toes
It’s the only thing that lasts me
My entire life
My participation trophy
My unearned and highest prize
It’s the sum of all the timelines
Of my great ancestor’s lives
Oh, you’ll never love anything else right
Until you have love for yourself
Oh, until you’re at home in your body
You’re never home anywhere else
This is my own hairline
These are my own scars
My two eyes like headlights
On my bone-bodied, skinwrapped car
My brain might act like it’s invincible
But my body feels the war
The head might try making cheap shots,
But my heart keeps the true score
If I stop and breathe
Let my life slow down
My ears might just hear
All the noise I’ve drowned
Oh, you’ll never love anything else right
Until you have love for yourself
Oh, until you’re at home in your body
You’re never home anywhere else
It’s the only thing that lasts me
My entire life
My participation trophy
My unearned and highest prize
It’s the sum of all the timelines
Of my great ancestor’s lives
(Chorus)
