Idols

I don't believe in idols

I think it's dangerous

To dedicate one's life to something

It's scary, I confess

Sure, I've loved things with passion

They've consumed my thoughts at night

But the idea of praising their being

Make's me want to fight or flight

I worry for people who do this

Who hang on a bit too hard

It's one thing if they save your life

And another if you've given your heart

So I beg you, please be careful

Don't rely on them too much

They won't be there forever

Even if it's harsh and unjust
