it's idolization
i'll try to stop it this time
because idolatry never worked out

it's idolization
i'm trying to stop it in time
as i'm praying on my knees whispering, "how"

this is worship
this isn't friendship
i've never done it right

reverently praying
trying to make man
more than mankind

this is an attraction
this is an addiction
i'm compelled to weep

i'm a reborn convert
fanatical in that
i want the world to see

i lift my idol up
for everyone to view
but i'm a jealous follower

i hide my idol under a cape
and pull it to my chest
so i am the only worshiper

this is idolization
i'll try to stop it this time
because friendship's all i wanted

this is idolization
can't find the way to end it
and these blessings leave me haunted
