[Verse 1] I lit a little candle at the edge of town, watched the pretty lights come on, watched the warnings drown. Something learned the welcome language, something wore a friendly face. Something moved into the bloodstream, something took the place. [Pre-Chorus] But I don’t need to run. I don’t need to fight. I just need to notice what keeps changing in the night. [Chorus] The body knows, the body knows, even when the mind says, “Don’t disturb the ghosts.” The body knows, the body knows, save the game, turn the lights on, let the hidden thing be shown. [Verse 2] I pressed pause on the old story. I checked the map again. Found a door behind the wallpaper, found a lock beneath the hymn. Every time I named the pattern, something loosened in the floor. Every time we told the truth aloud, the spell could work no more. [Pre-Chorus] No, I don’t need to burn it. No, I don’t need revenge. I can mark the place it entered. I can choose where it will end. [Chorus] The body knows, the body knows, even when the mind says, “Don’t disturb the ghosts.” The body knows, the body knows, save the game, turn the lights on, let the hidden thing be shown. [Bridge] First make a little safety. Let the breathing settle down. Then the eyes can find the pattern that was hiding in the sound. One voice says, “I saw it.” One says, “I did too.” One says, “That isn’t normal.” One says, “Now we know what to do.” Mark it. Name it. Pass the signal through. Mark it. Name it. Let the body tell the truth. [Final Chorus] The body knows, the body knows, underneath the pretty spell, underneath the rose. The body knows, the body knows, new patch loaded, old code broken, nothing hidden anymore. [Outro — soft, repeated] No curse. No shame. No need to fear the flame. The body knows. The body knows.
