The Tempest

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"
