Idolatry: In Vain
They're on to me
They're gonna find me out
They've seen through me
what I am really about
The words you heard me saying
nothing was ever true
You got to me
and I believed your scheming lies
That there was pie for me
among the happy in the skies
The parts you had me playing
as I tried to be you, shameful but true
Clarity came, like a long lost friend
A catcher in the rye, a truth you can't deny
When too close to the edge
it struck me like a sledge
If being "someone" is you
I'd much rather be "no one" and true
Those who don't know success
ashamed we all pretend
For false promises
we leave our lesser real friends
You open up the door
just to keep us in the line, you heartless swine
Clarity came, like a long lost friend...
I've strived to be "someone"
It went on and on and on
But your kind are poison
Be gone, one day your gone
Clarity came, like a long lost friend...
They're on to me
