The Temple

from Moon Loser by Hidden Twin

lyrics

the temple
(boyd)

you walk in my temple
hammer in your hand
so many things
you don't understand
maybe you do
and your designs are grand
uncoil the serpents
that strike at command
you vandalize and chisel
at walls made of stone
just 'cause they'll weather
just 'cause they'll erode
don't mean you have the right
to worsen their load
all this from some spook
some uncool dead
though its fun how they crumble
like stale slices of bread
when they come tumbling down
who holds the roof for your head
when they come tumbling down
who holds the roof for your head

you stand in my garden
pissing on my plants
saying god is alive
and he lives in your pants
but today was a good day
we talked about dirt
and stomachs designed
to chew grass off the earth
when you step with your right foot
your left one soon swings
and trips over tongues
and all the precious things
so you bury your eyebrows
like a burrowing mole
and you chew up the roots
that sleep in the soil
and it just carries on
till its out of control
when the crops are all chopped
who will fill up your bowl
when the crops are all chopped
who will fill up your bowl

sacred drums pounding
down by river beds
are just hollers to you
just highways into heads
but they're hunting this easter
for whats under my teeth
if i crack a shell
they'll come after me
this christmas they're wishing
for ways to stay heated
from what my steps have swallowed
they hope i don't breath it
this christmas they're wishing
for ways to stay heated
but from what my steps have swallowed
they hope i don't breath it
