Thrice - Where Idols Once Stood lyrics

rate me

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,

I'll draw the shades and stay inside.

If we've learned anything at all,

It's that the ghosts of idols will do just as well.

We all see what we want to anyway,

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 we'll be untouchable,

Untouchable.

We hate to lie to children,

But after all its all for their own good,

For their own good....
