Killing the Thing That You Love Lyrics

Artist: Styx
Album: Cyclorama

Brick by brick you built a mansion
Piece by piece it seems
Youâ‚¬â„¢re tearing it down

Once you walked so tall and handsome
Now nobody even wants you around
Now youâ‚¬â„¢re just some kind of
Leftover clown
Now youâ‚¬â„¢re like Quasi Modo crying

As you look in the mirror
At what youâ‚¬â„¢ve become
Killing the thing that you love
Like Lennonâ‚¬â„¢s assassin
Lennonâ‚¬â„¢s assassin

Reaching for Venus De Milo
But sheâ‚¬â„¢s never gonna hold you tight
You plant plutonium silos
Then you blister from the sun thatâ‚¬â„¢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 youâ‚¬â„¢ve become
Killing the world that you love
Like Lennonâ‚¬â„¢s assassin
Lennonâ‚¬â„¢s assassin

The genius of a generation
Blown away just like a leaf on the wind
And now youâ‚¬â„¢re looking for salvation
But you canâ‚¬â„¢t forget the places youâ‚¬â„¢ve been
And you canâ‚¬â„¢t erase a lifetime of sin
And you canâ‚¬â„¢t escape the answers as you

Look in the mirror
At what youâ‚¬â„¢ve become
Dredging the river for what you have done
Killing the thing that you love
Like Lennonâ‚¬â„¢s assassin
Lennonâ‚¬â„¢s assassin
