[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)
