i see the radiance
of your atom heart
i wash my dirty hands
in your liquid fire
i know it's dangerous
but i do it anyway
---
i need the purity
even if it hurts
---
i hear the naked truth
in your quiet voice
i see my secret thoughts
in your metal eyes
i think it's beautiful
the way you say goodbye
---
i need the purity
even if it hurts
---
i feel the rage inside
but you play your part
i watch your shaking fists
and i feed the fire
i know it's hurting you
but i do it anyway
---
i need the fury too
even if it hurts
---
i want the naked truth
in your tired voice
i tell my deepest truth
i am mesmerized
i think it's beautiful
the way we say goodnight
---
we need the fury too
even when it hurts
