Sometimes, we struggle for things we really shouldn't struggle for, seeing as there are more important things that need our attention.

Story behind the song
This is actually inspired by the Pope's death and the Terri Schiavo case. The character "Mary" is an illusion to the mother of Jesus.
Lyrics
The other day I show up at Mary's house And her husband's drinking a beer I say, "It's been so long since I've sat on this couch; What's happened these past eighteen years?" "Everybody's been laughing at my name." A tear rolls down her cheek She looks up at me from her crochet and doesn't even speak This world is full of ugliness; I can see it in her eyes She doesn't even know it But everytime I visit I cry on the inside She said, "You don't even know me I'm just a picture in a frame to show off to your friends at work so you can share my fame. You might as well be honest and admit that you're a lie Better hunt your demons And take all the love from inside And put it on the outside. Do you remember the day They took that man away and put him in a box of glass too many of the dead on display I remember seeing that wriggling mass And they bowed to a human As if he divine While ignoring the woman dead on the inside With her string being held So she wouldn't float into the sky She said, "You don't even know me I'm just a picture in a frame to show off to your friends at school so you can share my fame. You might as well be honest and admit that you're a lie Better hunt your demons And take all the love from inside And put it on the outside. And we fight for our mothers And we fight for our rights And we fight for our country And we fight for our lives But we're fighting each other We're just fighting to fight Fight for love, fight for fear you can fight, you can fight, you can fight, but You don't even know me I'm just a picture in a frame to hang up on your fucking wall so you can share my fame. You might as well be honest and admit that you're a lie Better hunt your demons And take all the love from inside And put it on the outside.
