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 to 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
Some things are better left unsaid
You know what's at stake, some things are better left unsaid
As long as we keep it in textbooks, then we'll be untouchable
We hate to lie to children
But after all, it's all for their own good
