Killing the Thing That You Love
Brick by brick you built a mansion
Piece by piece it seems
Youâ"š¬â"ž¢re tearing it down
Once you walked so tall and handsome
Now nobody even wants you around
Now youâ"š¬â"ž¢re just some kind of
Leftover clown
Now youâ"š¬â"ž¢re like Quasi Modo crying
As you look in the mirror
At what youâ"š¬â"ž¢ve become
Killing the thing that you love
Like Lennonâ"š¬â"ž¢s assassin
Lennonâ"š¬â"ž¢s assassin
Reaching for Venus De Milo
But sheâ"š¬â"ž¢s never gonna hold you tight
You plant plutonium silos
Then you blister from the sun thatâ"š¬â"ž¢s too bright
Like a vampire stepping into the light
Just a victim of your own greed as you
Look in the mirror
At what youâ"š¬â"ž¢ve become
Killing the world that you love
Like Lennonâ"š¬â"ž¢s assassin
Lennonâ"š¬â"ž¢s assassin
The genius of a generation
Blown away just like a leaf on the wind
And now youâ"š¬â"ž¢re looking for salvation
But you canâ"š¬â"ž¢t forget the places youâ"š¬â"ž¢ve been
And you canâ"š¬â"ž¢t erase a lifetime of sin
And you canâ"š¬â"ž¢t escape the answers as you
Look in the mirror
At what youâ"š¬â"ž¢ve become
Dredging the river for what you have done
Killing the thing that you love
Like Lennonâ"š¬â"ž¢s assassin
Lennonâ"š¬â"ž¢s assassin
