Where Idols Once Stood

our idols lay in ruins we’d have saved them if we could

The things we once believed in we now know to no longer be true

but we still choose to worship the places where our idols stood

but in our self-deception we still hold on to those beliefs

still believe they can save us

still believe that they hold the key to our existence

i’ve lived this way too long to turn back now presuppositions set in stone this coffin sealed by my own pride

in my pride and prejudgment i cannot change my beliefs

and though it seems the sun will shine ill draw the shades and stay inside

and although i could find the truth i will baske in my own ignorance which i identify with

if we’ve learned anything at all its that the chests of idols will do just as well we all see what we want to anyway (anyway)

since we all deceive ourselves i might as well

some things are better left unsaid

the truth destoys ideal... it is best to leave it 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

through society we can instill the same lies and false ideals we believed in

we hate to lie to children but after all its all for their own good

its better for them to believe in a world with ideals instead of knowing the truth of our own imperfections
