Lyrics for Body Memory - Cornucopia Live

First snow of winter I'm walking hills and valleys I adore this mystical fog This fucking mist These cliffs are just showing off Then the body memory kicks in I mime my home mountains The moss that I'm made of I redeem myself Wrestling with my fate Do I accept this ending? Will I accept my death? Or struggle claustrophobic? Fought like a wolverine With my destiny Refuse to accept What was meant to be Then the body memory kicks in But I trust the unknown Unfathomable imagination I surrender to future How to capture all this love And find a pathway for it Like threading an ocean through a needle River through a keyhole I can't fathom the grasp I can't grasp the fathom Then the body memory kicks in My limbs and tongue take over Like the ancestors before me They show me the flow My sexual DNA X-rays of my Kama Sutras Summons different bodies Compares spines and buttocks And back of necks Then my body memory kicks in It simply takes over Bestiality I redeem my body I wasn't born urban Toxic doesn't agree with me Love lured me here Into a stagnant state My myths, my customs, ridiculed Vacuum-packed molecules Then the body memory kicks in On this Brooklyn dance floor I'm sweating with these rhythms I rotate this matrix Trapped in legal harness Kafka-esque farce like patriarchy Avoided to confront it Then the body memory kicks in My warrior awakens I turn to defend Urban didn't tame me Then the body memory kicks in All bosoms and embraces Oral, anal, entrances Enjoy the satisfaction When the other is growing Too
