"MONOLITH" lyrics

I'm yours for the taking
A piece of clay
Mold me to be what you want today
Shape me and I'll try my best to stay
I'll stand tall

Give me all your pain and your trauma bond
I'll be the shoulder that you cry on
Listen to the sound of my aching voice
I'll be here

When wolves come to hunt my flesh
I wish someone would save me
'Cause God knows that I spend my life
Doing all of the saving
I guess that I'll just be
A cardboard cutout
Or a meme
Whatever they want me to be

I am the monument
The monolith
A wound cracked open
For them to pour salt in
Exposed nerves
A tooth that's pulled
A vibrant bouquet
Getting plucked till it's nothing

Hand me the weight of your soul again
I'm just a mirror that you live in
Statue of everything that you love
And what you hate
Tell me what it is that I owe you now
While I run my head to the fucking ground
Wish I could get up and run away
But who'd be there?

And when I take off my mask
I wish someone would see me
Sullen bruised and scorned
A stitched up doll with their heart beating
I've said how I felt before
But still no one was listening
Guess I'll go missing

I am the monument
The monolith
A wound cracked open
For them to pour salt in
Exposed nerves
A tooth that's pulled
A vibrant bouquet
Getting plucked till it's nothing

Fantasize, romanticize
Infantalize and project lies
Dehumanize and scrutinize
God, why won't you euthanize me?

A pillar, an icon, a relic, a ruin
A demon, a whore, a girl who is stupid
A pillar, an icon, a relic, a ruin
A demon, a whore, a girl who is stupid
A pillar, an icon, a relic, a ruin
A demon, a whore, a girl who is stupid
A pillar, an icon, a relic, a ruin
A demon, a whore, a girl who is stupid
A pillar, an icon, a relic, a ruin
A demon, a whore, a girl who is stupid
A pillar, an icon, a relic, a ruin
A demon, a whore, a girl who is stupid
