Lyrics
[Intro - Saxophone solo] [Verse 1] Whose hand left the handle turning? Whose mouth learned the careful wording? What stays caught beneath the tongue? What keeps pulling where it stung? [Chorus] Is this touch or recollection? Is this grief or muscle tension? Does the body keep the record? Does the record keep the body? Is there anything to answer? Is there anyone still asking? Can a wound become a habit? Can a habit keep on acting? [Verse 2] Why does fabric feel accusatory? Why does pressure tell the story? Why does sleep return the gesture? Why does waking leave the pressure? Did the years remove the meaning? Did the meaning leave the feeling? Does the skin revise the ending? Does the ending keep repeating? [Chorus] Is this touch or recollection? Is this grief or muscle tension? Does the body keep the record? Does the record keep the body? Is there anything to answer? Is there anyone still asking? Can a wound become a habit? Can a habit keep on acting? [Middle Eight] If I press here, does it answer? If I stop, does it grow louder? If the memory loses language, Does the pressure speak around it? Was regret supposed to soften? Was regret supposed to finish? If the cause has long departed, Why does consequence persist? [Final Chorus] Is this touch or recollection? Is this grief or muscle tension? Does the body keep the record? Does the record keep the body? Can the hand forget the handle? Can the mouth forget the warning? Can the years undo the contact? Can the body stop performing? [Outro] Is there anything left to answer? Is there anything left to answer? Is there anything left to answer? Is there anything left to answer?
