Killing the Thing That You Love |
| Brick by brick you built a mansion |
| Piece by piece it seems |
| You’re tearing it down |
| Once you walked so tall and handsome |
| Now nobody even wants you around |
| Now you’re just some kind of |
| Leftover clown |
| Now you’re like Quasi Modo crying |
| As you look in the mirror |
| At what you’ve become |
| Killing the thing that you love |
| Like Lennon’s assassin |
| Lennon’s assassin |
| Reaching for Venus De Milo |
| But she’s never gonna hold you tight |
| You plant plutonium silos |
| Then you blister from the sun that’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 you’ve become |
| Killing the world that you love |
| Like Lennon’s assassin |
| Lennon’s assassin |
| The genius of a generation |
| Blown away just like a leaf on the wind |
| And now you’re looking for salvation |
| But you can’t forget the places you’ve been |
| And you can’t erase a lifetime of sin |
| And you can’t escape the answers as you |
| Look in the mirror |
| At what you’ve become |
| Dredging the river for what you have done |
| Killing the thing that you love |
| Like Lennon’s assassin |
| Lennon’s assassin |
