"Monument" lyrics
"Monument"
Aren't you going to come along?
Aren't you going to fight?
Aren't you going to hold your hands up to the light?
If you feel an emptiness,
If you want to hide
Think about the blood
That's pumping keeping you alive
We've got it all worked out,
The plans all made
If we believe in the fight
Then we're all saved
It's gonna hurt for a while
But it would anyway
Let us stand resolute
With our voices raised
We have a right to insist
To be free and brave
If that should cease to exist
I'd throw my heart away
It's a long long way
To the promised land
So try where you are,
Do what you can
You belong to what you understand
So teach yourself how to demand
The monument that you deserve
For rising up in a beaten down world
Aren't you going to come along?
Aren't you going to fight?
Aren't you going to hold your hands up to the light?
If you feel an emptiness,
If you want to hide
Think about the blood
That's pumping keeping you alive

I'd sell my shoes
I'd give my body to be back again
In the rest of the room
To be alone with you

Regina Spektor - "Ode To Divorce" The food that I'm eating
Is suddenly tasteless
I know I'm alone now
I know what it tastes like
So break me to small parts
Let go in small doses
But spare some for spare parts
There might be some...
The Decemberists - "Red Right Ankle" This is the story of your red right ankle
And how it came to meet your leg
And how the muscle bone and sinews tangled
And how the skin was softly shed
And how it whispered,

Wye Oak - "I Hope You Die" In the belly of the cloud
I was released
You were released
Was it deafeningly loud?
Or was it peace?
Sweet peace
All the streets
All filled with sound
Because it's right
It's for the best
Still I...
