[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, each 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

[Verse 3]
Get my 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)
Can't stop tripping on these (body of years, body of years)
Old roads (body of years, 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)
[Guitar Solo]
