Killing the Thing That You Love — текст песни (styx)

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
