Where Idols Once Stood

our idols lay in ruins

we'd have saved them if we could

but we still choose to worship

the places where our idols stood.

still believing

they can save us,

I've lived this way too long to turn back now

Presuppositions set in stone

this coffin sealed by my own pride,

and though it seems the sun will shine,

ill draw the shades and stay inside.

if we've learned anything at all,

its that the ghosts of idols will do just as well

we all see what we want to anyway (screams 'anyway')

some things

are better left unsaid.

you know what's at stake

something's are better left unsaid

as long as we keep it

in textbooks, then well be untouchable, untouchable

we hate to lie to children,

but after all its all

for their own good.
