Lyrics Killing the thing that you love Styx

 911

Killing the thing that you love


Brick by brick you built a mansion
Piece by piece it seems
Youre tearing it down

Once you walked so tall and handsome
Now nobody even wants you around
Now youre just some kind of
Leftover clown
Now youre like Quasi Modo crying

As you look in the mirror
At what youve become
Killing the thing that you love
Like Lennons assassin
Lennons assassin

Reaching for Venus De Milo
But shes never gonna hold you tight
You plant plutonium silos
Then you blister from the sun thats too bright
Like a vampire stepping into the light
Just a victim of your own greed as you

Look in the mirror
At what youve become
Killing the world that you love
Like Lennons assassin
Lennons assassin

The genius of a generation
Blown away just like a leaf on the wind
And now youre looking for salvation
But you cant forget the places youve been
And you cant erase a lifetime of sin
And you cant escape the answers as you

Look in the mirror
At what youve become
Dredging the river for what you have done
Killing the thing that you love
Like Lennons assassin
Lennons assassin

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics KILLING THE THING THAT YOU LOVE of STYX is also present in the album Cyclorama (2003)
