Where Idols Once Stood - Thrice

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 believe

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 (anyway)

some things

are better left unsaid

you know what’s at stake

something’s are better left unsaid

as long as we can 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
