Burn in Altered Perception

Under this roof, within these walls
You blaze, my fire, and the cold seeps in
Your heatsoftperfect makes all the water worthwhile
But when I touch, you burn my hand, fade away my broken smile
The rain outside is freezing me over
Cover me with asbestos scars so you can be my lover
Maybe if I just close my eyes and enter the flame
I won't be able to feel the pain

I know you burn
but I need you so much
I can never learn

I know you'd melt me if you could
But it's your nature to sting
I can't stop, I can't resist
the heatsoftperfect that you bring
Raindrops rolling down the windows on either side of me
I can't feel the burn if you reach out and touch me

I know you burn
but I need you so much
I can never learn
