Milk and Honey

Shed the layers off this body

Look at it naked

Am I right, you thought it would be flawless

The way you made it in your head?

In your head (In your head)

Shit, how I have grown tired making excuses

For these scars that offend you

You haven't heard the half of it

How would you feel if I told you my whole story?

We ain't your paradise

We made it our own

There ain't no milk and honey

Flowing from our thighs

No, we ain't your paradise

We're making our own

There ain't no milk and honey

Flowing from our thighs

At least not for you

Not for you

Now you say I look tired

It's what this world does to me, yeah

Last night in my sleep

I drank the whole sea

But still my skin just wouldn't shine

Like in your advertisements

Your freaking advertisements

Oh, they no longer dictate the fabric of dreams

Or the magic within every woman I see

Our bodies are part of the story

You don't know these stories

You don't know our bodies

You don't know our bodies

We ain't your paradise

We're making our own

There ain't no milk and honey

Flowing from our thighs

Oh no, we ain't your paradise

Our bodies are our own

There ain't no milk and honey

Flowing from our thighs

At least not for you

(No longer)

(No longer)

Not for you

(No longer)

(No longer)

(No longer)
