[Part 1: Body Of Years]
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
Just a body of years
[Verse 2]
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, aach a piece of my soul
It's a body of years that I leave all alone
[Chorus]
It's just a body of years, now a pile of bones
You know
[Post-Chorus]
Old soul who falls down
Can't stop trippin' on these
Old roads I go down
Get back up and get my
[Verse 3]
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't ever change
Like a body of years that you take to your grave
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
Old soul who falls down
Can't stop tripping on these
Old roads I go down
Get back up and I'm a
Old soul who falls down (body of years, body of years, body of years)
Can't stop tripping on these (body of years, it's just a body of years)
Old roads (body of years, body of years)
Body of years
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
Telltale diary pages
They unveil a ghost from the ages
When bodies of years
Were breaking from all of the weight
Of diary pages
Telltale diary pages, oh, oh
(Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh oh)
[Part 2: Gouge Away]
[Chorus]
Gouge away
You can gouge away
Stay all day
If you want to
[Verse 1]
Missy aggravation
Some sacred questions
You stroke my locks
Some marijuana if you got some
[Chorus]
Gouge away
You can gouge away
Stay all day
If you want to (Ah, ah)
[Verse 2]
Sleeping on your belly
You break my arms
You spoon my eyes
Been rubbing a bad charm with holy fingers
[Chorus]
Gouge away
You can gouge away
Stay all day
If you want to
[Outro]
Alright, thank you so much folks
Very exciting to be here, we love this city

I personally have a dysfunctional relationship with technology
I don't spend enough time in Apple stores, but I
This is a nice way to redeem myself, I think
