Lyrics

Idolatry

We shipwrecked ourselves
Two willing castaways, alone

Some things just don't work out
Some things

Idol worship
Is unsustainable
And we worshipped love
Until it wore us out

We cut down our last tree
So long ago
And now we are
Without hope

Some things just don't work out
Some things just don't work out

We have nothing left
All our resources spent

Now I have your flesh
Caught in my teeth

Some things just don't work out
Some things just don't work out
Some... things just don't work out

Can't build these statues/ Anymore
Can't build these statues/ Anymore
Can't build these statues/ Anymore
Can't build these statues/ Anymore
Can't build these statues/ Anymore
Can't build these statues/ Anymore
