About the Artist
Lyrics
Where 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.
