Resonant Body Songtext
von Maggie Rogers

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

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, ooh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, ooh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, ooh

I′m a resonant body
With elbows and toes
Drum on my rib cage
Release my dissonant tones
