Lyrics

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 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
For their own good...
