Do you see the way   That bullet spreads the air out of its way?   So it can come right into me   It creeps in looking for its home   Where I keep its own kind      He's found a pretty place   To warm himself and decorate   She's found a home to keep her cares   He lights a fire   She's grateful for the warmth   Until the house burns down      Do you see why I cry   When the life is spilling out   The pores of all those shameful minds   Do you see why I can't take the way they take her   So close to the flame it burns the skin   When I have a place where she can live   And they don't care about anything but this   And it's sick      The temple on the hill   Is the house he found in the dark that night   And so had many before him   No one's allowed by morals anyway   They just push and shove and touch to get in      He looks into her eyes   They're as white as snow and he doesn't know   They're cold and that he isn't inside   My heart and mind is needing for a path   From my lips to hers down into her heart      Do you see why I cry   When the life is spilling out   The pores of all those shameful minds   Do you see why I can't take the way they take her   So close to the flame it burns the skin   When I have a place where she can live   And they don't care about anything but this   And it's sick      And they don't care about anything but this   And all I want is to be there to clean up this mess   And all I want is to lie there too
