Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 bare my teeth
I'm coming for you, only dead men sleep
[Verse 2]
I was nine years old when I got cat-called
My mama said, "It's not your fault"
These are quiet things we don't talk about
In the heat of summer the wolves come out
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Refrain]
Don't deny me
It's not your body
Don't deny me
It's not your body
It's not your body
[Verse 3]
I was sixteen when I learned to cut my throat
Just to give my voice to a bad man's joke
I'm only one woman but I'm not alone
We're coming for you from every coast
[Verse 4]
I was born in a tempest violently
They did what they did, but they couldn't break me
I'm a woman with a grudge for my sanity
I made it this long by the skin of my teeth
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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 give a shit about me, give a shit about me
Give a shit about me, give a shit about me
[Refrain]
Don't deny me
It's not your body
Don't deny me
It's not your body
It's not your body
[Bridge]
Vapid, dumb, shrill, hysterical
Vapid, dumb, shrill, hysterical
Vapid, dumb, shrill, hysterical
Vapid, dumb, shrill, hysterical
[Verse 5]
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
[Refrain]
Don't deny me
It's not your body
Don't deny me
It's not your body
It's not your body
[Refrain]
Don't deny me
Oh, it's my body
It's not your body
It's my body
Don't deny me
It's my body
It's not your body
It's not your body
