Lyrics: Mother Mother. Body.

Take my eyes, take them aside.
Take my face and desecrate my arms and legs,
they get in the way.
And take my hands, they'll understand.
Take my heart, pull it apart.
And take my brain, or what remains
and throw it all away

'cause I've grown tired of this body.
A cumbersome and heavy body

Take my lungs, take them and run.
Take my tongue, go have some fun.
And take the ears, take them and disappear.
And take my joints, take them for points.
Take my teeth, tear through my cheeks.
and take the nose, go and dispose,
oh would you go dispose, just go dispose,

'cause I've grown tired of this body.
A cumbersome and heavy body.
I've grown tired of this body.
Fall apart without me, body.
Oohhh...
Take my eyes, take them aside.
Take my face, and desecrate.
Arms and legs get in the way.
Body... something..

I've grown tired of this body.
Cumbersome and heavy body.
I've grown tired of this body.
Fall apart without me, body.
I've grown tired of this body.
Cumbersome and heavy.
Tired of this body.
Fall apart without me.
Tired of this body.

[..take my eyes, take them aside.
take my face and desecrate.
Arms and legs get in the way
take my lungs, take them and run.
Take my tongue, go have some fun.
Take my heart, pull it apart.]

[Cumbersome and heavy.
Tired of this body.
Fall apart without me.
Tired of this body.
Tired of this body.
Tired of this body.]

Cumbersome and heavy body.
Heavy body.
Heavy body
