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
