My Body is a Temple
My Body is a Temple
My Body is a Temple
My Body is a Temple
My Body is a Temple
My Body is a Temple
My Body is a Temple
My Body is a Temple
And I have been rebuilding it from scratch
As someone has come and destroyed it
Without my fucking permission
How the hell did that happen?
How the hell did I let that happen?
(My body is a temple)
I have been rebuilding
A fortress, a temple, a castle
To gather those who have suffered the same way I did
I once thought my body failed me
By changing its shape
(Why did you change and attract the unwanted)
(My body is a temple)
Every time I tried to put my arms around you
With the brotherly affection
You’d just mistaken it for advances
Every time I tried to speak for myself
Candidly like any one of you boys do
You just called me out instead
But I for once would like you
To look inside of my fragile shell
That looks nothing like these curves
That looks nothing like these curves
That looks nothing like these curves
That looks nothing like these curves
My body is a temple
(Damn right)
Sturdy, sacred, and private
(My body is a temple)
And my soul a deity
And I am rebuilding it from scratch
So no one can break me no more
So no one can break me no more
So no one can break me no more
So no one can break me no more
My body is a temple
Your body is a temple
Their body is a temple
Our body is a temple
