Paper Idols
Unraveling Life's Paradox: Paper Idols and Broken Halos
Lyrics
Years spent on backs, sliding to avoid the tripwires
Jokes that we hated but laughed at
Stumbled into traps, reluctant yes, all teeth ground down
And passion sought but scoffed at
Jokes that we hated but laughed at
Anxiety and risk outweighed the disappointment
And passion sought but scoffed at
Sandpaper hands and dumpster smiles
Anxiety and risk outweighed the disappointment
Buzzards overhead and targeting their new found meals
Sandpaper hands and dumpster smiles
For one to live, one must die, in this life
Buzzards overhead and targeting their new found meals
Of paper idols, broken halos
For one to live, one must die, in this life
The cataracts of righteousness have hazed the vision of the masses
Of paper idols, broken halos
Of sleepers under overpasses
The cataracts of righteousness have hazed the vision of the masses
Two eyes like mine, reduced to wheels
Of sleepers under overpasses
Much unlike old schoolyard fights
Two eyes like mine, reduced to wheels
There is no win
Much unlike old schoolyard fights
And the steel dust blows, diamond smiles
There is no win
The second hand is winding close
And the steel dust blows, diamond smiles
We're imploding like varicose
The second hand is winding close
Lay down your cards, lay down your arms, concede
We're imploding like varicose
Believe
Lay down your cards, lay down your arms, concede
Believe
