Idols - Joel Ansett

I’d been searching for that something

That would make my joy complete

Once I thought that I had found it

I made it mine and mine to keep

I had never loved so deeply

In my heart, I gave it a throne

And from there I let it rule me

Oh, if only I had known

That I love the right things

But I love them too much

When you hold on too tight

You’re bound to lose touch

Oh, I love the right things

But I love them too much

When you hold on too tight

You’re bound to lose touch

All my hopes and expectations

They were dashed against the wall

I had made them my salvation

And for that I lost it all

Oh, I love the right things

But I love them too much

When you hold on too tight

You’re bound to lose touch

Oh, I love the right things

But I love them too much

When you hold on too tight

You’re bound to lose touch

And now it’s too late

But now I realize

That you lose what you idolize

Clean this house, oh, clean this heart

Be as violent as You must

Brick by brick, oh, bring them down

Turn our Idols into dust
