Lyrics

I walked through hell on my own two feet I saw the devil and the devil saw me I don't cry no more, I bear my teeth I'm coming for you only dead men sleep I sing to keep my spirit safe The wind, the sea, the hurricane How many times the boat did break I'm a tough motherfucker and no dead men wake You don't even know me, but you want to tell me How to use my body, if my body was a gun You'd care about me, you'd care about me Don't deny me, don't deny me, it's not your body I was sixteen when I learned to cut my throat Just to give my voice to a bad man's joke I'm a shell of a woman but I'm not alone We're coming for you from every coast I sing to keep my spirit safe The wind, the sea, the hurricane How many times the boat did break I'm a tough motherfucker and no dead men wake You don't even know me, but you want to tell me How to use my body, if my body was a gun You'd care about me, you'd care about me Don't deny me, don't deny me, it's not your body Vapid, dumb, shrill, hysterical Vapid, dumb, shrill, hysterical Go ask your captor if it's just a magic trick There's no mistaking it, pain is the benefit I never asked to be somebody's enemy I guess freedom means you get to kill by policy Don't deny me, don't deny me, It's not your body It's my body, it's my body, it's my body"
