about

This track is about Idols. Not like American Idol. The Idol I'm talking about is the things that you put above God. The things that consume every bit of your life. It can be anything. Addiction, obsessions, possessions, habits, mindsets, whatever. This track discusses a few of mine that I have had over the years. Some try to tempt me and get me back into that downward spiral, but I will not go back. I am moving forward in Jesus name. I pray you do too. You are better than these idols.

lyrics

Like a puff of marijuana smoke
Not every idol we have is made of wood and stone (2)
We all have idols, had idols, some of us still do
Leaving many of us dazed and confused (4)
I used to, stay up every night, on triple X sites
Porn made me feel good while I was lonely inside (6)
A brief high, asked God to save me, it gotta hold
on me, cause part of me just didn’t wanna ever let go (8)
Felt like i needed it, taking up gigs of space
Eating junk food till I shrunk to nude in the face( 10)
Felt exposed, ashamed, to even praise his name
Then one day I had enough and gave myself away (12)
No more taking 3 hits just to get a quick fix
Or lusting only after women u get to with a few clicks (14)
This can be your hour of deliverance
If you surrender those devices of ignorance (16)

( Hook 2x: Addiction, Affliction
I feel idle worshipping my idols
Obsession, Possession
Vicious cycle, downward spiral)

( 4 bar intro)
Anything I put above him had to go
Like hanging out with friends, playing my nintendo (2)
Every day, Every pay check went to movies
Comic books, t shirts, music, feeling so groovy (4)
My desire for control, things to never change
The idea of a marriage with a special thing (6)
Bottom line, I was my own idol for a long time
Had to die, every sacrifice is worth the climb (8)
No more slipping into darkness
Engaging in activities that appear to be harmless (10)
Temptation is a cruel yet persistent evil mistress
Seductive in word play, and deceptive in appearance (12)
But I won’t give my life to the one who clearly has the losing hand
I build my castle on the rock and not the one on sand (14)
I’ve had my flaws, and I’m not afraid of showing that
My idols burned away, and I’m not ever going back (16)

( Hook 2x: Addiction, Affliction
I feel idle worshipping my idols
Obsession, Possession
Vicious cycle, downward spiral)
