We placed you on a pedestal
So high up
And you fell,
We bowed at your feet
And crucified your soul.
You were running wild
In dreams of our youth,
You stood in the mirror
Where we threw our pain
Of paranoid projections
And hatred directed towards you.
The world's own scapegoat to its ****** up problems.
We destroyed your face
On the silver screen.
In a consumption society,
In our capitalist marketplace,
Where we bled your extracted tears
And murdered you on the stage.
This is who we are,
Just a pack of violent wolves
Cannibals.
We killed you.
Forcefed you, for foie gras
And milked you, for caviar
Our sacrifice,
An effigy
Made you a martyr
For your love.
