[Intro] You want a body I come with a mind You like the outline I live in the lines (hey) [Verse 1] You say I'm perfect When I don't talk back You love my curves But you cut my tracks Call it devotion When you hold me still Touching my surface Dodging my will [Pre-Chorus] You dress me up in your story Like a mannequin in your play You keep my name Keep my glory But you edit every word I say [Chorus] I am more than your hands can hold More than a shape you can control I'm not a trophy on your wall Not a pretty yes for your every call I am thunder in my own skin Heart and hunger Scar and sin If you want me You gotta know I'm a full-life fire Not a show [Verse 2] You like me gentle When you're feeling tough You call that caring I just call it rough You frame my laughter Crop out my rage You want my dancing Not my wage [Pre-Chorus] You paint a cage made of compliments Call it a castle for your queen You say it's love Say it's innocence But you turn me down when I say what I mean [Chorus] I am more than your hands can hold More than a shape you can control I'm not a trophy on your wall Not a pretty yes for your every call I am thunder in my own skin Heart and hunger Scar and sin If you want me You gotta know I'm a full-life fire Not a show [Bridge] You want the body? Then take the brain Take the history Take the pain Take the questions Take the doubt (yeah) Take the silence When I walk out [Chorus] I am more than your hands can hold More than a shape you can control I'm not a trophy on your wall Not a pretty yes for your every call I am thunder in my own skin Heart and hunger Scar and sin If you want me You gotta know I'm a full-life fire Not a show [Outro] Watch me breathing On my own time I'm not your object I'm my own design (oh yeah)
