Colossus of Rhodes Lyrics
There is no booze left in the house
There is no air left in the room
But still some fuel left for the fire
Colossus of Rhodes
There are no signs of struggle here
There are no signs of forced entry
Could have been you, might have been me
Colossus of Rhodes
Though we've had break-ins before
We've had break-ins before
There is no point in trying to run
The calls are coming from the house
But change the locks on every door
Colossus of Rhodes
'Cause we've had break-ins before
We've had break-ins before
I'll point the way to my front door, to the exit lights
It's not too late to get there, it's not too late to kick you out
And after all these lifetimes, to see it all go south
If the party's over, it's not too late to kick you out
Yeah, we've had break-ins before
We've had break-ins before
We've had break-ins before
We've had break-ins before
You have no friends left in this place
Don't put no flowers on this grave
We think the patient can be saved
Colossus of Rhodes
Colossus of Rhodes
Colossus of Rhodes
Colossus of Rhodes
There is no air left in the room
But still some fuel left for the fire
There are no signs of forced entry
Could have been you, might have been me
Colossus of Rhodes
We've had break-ins before
The calls are coming from the house
But change the locks on every door
Colossus of Rhodes
We've had break-ins before
It's not too late to get there, it's not too late to kick you out
And after all these lifetimes, to see it all go south
If the party's over, it's not too late to kick you out
We've had break-ins before
We've had break-ins before
We've had break-ins before
Don't put no flowers on this grave
We think the patient can be saved
Colossus of Rhodes
Colossus of Rhodes
Colossus of Rhodes
Colossus of Rhodes

This song strongly reminds me of the moment when I realized that I was the victim of an abusive relationship. It’s terrifying because the place you are the least safe is your house, and the best you can really do is run because it isn’t going to get better.
