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
