My Body Is a Diary Lyrics

I gave my bird away
Released it on a winter's day
I hid the cage away
In the darkest corner of my cave

Drew circles in the snow
Developed a strong vertigo
I tried to forget
But memories are like tattoos

I carry them with me
My body is a diary
It might not show it right away
But it remembers every day

I write on paper not my skin
Read my arm like poetry
Scars cover memories
They keep them safe, lock them away

I carry them with me
My body is a diary
Read me like poetry
My body is a diary

I will gain peace of mind
The day I let myself rewind
Will read my diary like poetry
