When The Idol Dies

The Listening

    Continues after the ad

    There's no way to tell you, there's no warning bell
    No one can prepare you for the fires of hell…

    Tried to make it clear, I told you all
    Left my mobile on but you never called me…
    Telephone a friend but he don't wanna talk
    Leaving you a message...I'm gonna end it all

    Seeing many things but you don't observe…
    You just never thought you'd ever see me...
    you'd ever see me here
    Opening your ears, but you don't hear a word
    You just never thought they'd be...

    Taking everything they could take from me
    Breaking everything they could break of me...

    You've made idols from the stars in your eyes
    You've made an idol, and now your idol dies

    Seeing many things but you don't observe…
    You just never thought you'd ever see me here
    Opening your ears, but you don't hear a word
    You just never thought you'd ever see me here…

    I've held my peace for a long, long time
    Still and quiet I speak my mind
    You pretend to listen, pretend to sigh
    Like you give attention and have the time

    Switch your eyes to caring, your voice to lie
    When it gets heavy and makes me cry
    You huddle in the dark, but walk in the light
    Giving me an answer that makes you right…

    Taking everything they could take from me
    they're breaking everything they could break of me
    But if I have you for me, then I have everything

    Sip the cup of wine to toast
    Hold the break before its broke
    Some cast lots to get the cloak
    and some deny the things they know...
    but they'll remember what was said
    when its lifted from the dead...

    nothing hidden, its all exposed
    Its all in the open and overthrown
    Going back home with my blood on your clothes
    Blood on your spirit, the blood on the skull

    Words to the face, fists were thrown
    Hurting so bad, you're hurt and you're torn
    They left me for dead, and left me alone…
    Gave me for nothing, but I'm leaving you hope

    Taking everything they could take from me
    they're breaking everything they could break of me
    But if I have you for me, then I have everything
