Resonant Body

I'm a resonant body

With knuckles and lungs

Beat me with cymbals

Play chords on my tongue

I'm a resonant body

With elbows and toes

Drum on my rib cage

Release my dissonant tones

My dissonant tones

My dissonant tones

I'm a resonant body

Trace it along my skin

In the freckles and old scars

And the lines I have hid

In a resonant body

All the frequencies hold like

Dirty feet on carpet

Your breath in the cold

Your breath in the cold

Warm breath in the cold

I'm sorry for our miscommunications

And force fed sympathies

I'll rest in the garden

With roots, oh, and the reeds

Safe from human frequencies

I'm a resonant body

With elbows and toes

Drum on my rib cage

Release my dissonant tones
