Idol
Verse 1
I dove into her ocean eyes
Swept away by the tide
Drowning in her sweetest smile
I'm lost in a world that isn't mine
This world has air I cannot breathe
Designed for her and not for me
Underneath these shredded sheets
I'm suffocating in my sleep
Suffocating in my dreams
Chorus 1
She's the idol sitting on my shelf
I built these boards and placed her there myself
Not carved in stone; made of flesh and bone
She's the idol sitting on my shelf
Verse 2
I built a castle in my bones
Brought her inside from the cold
Then I bowed down, handed her this crown, now
She sits upon my heart's throne
And the blood that flows now bleeds her name
Bursting out my brittle veins

But blood filled the cracks between the splinters in His back
Ribcage naked in the rain
Bleeding dry into the grave
Chorus 1
She's the idol sitting on my shelf
I built these boards and placed her there myself
Not carved in stone; made of flesh and bone
She's the idol sitting on my shelf
Verse 3
The hands I hold do not have holes
No place where I can fit my soul
No scars on her brow from a thorny crown
I know her love can't make me whole
Chorus 2
I'll break these shelves and crack this filthy crown
Shattered pieces scattered all around
Lying idle next to dusty Bibles
I pick this cross up off the dirty ground
