Lyrics Monuments - Stay Inside

Monuments

I wish to leave no trace
No code tied to string
In schoolrooms still and dark
That caught us
We sink into the soil
And float above the sea
Forget the history
That brought us
Tear open your memory, and
Let the light pour out
On to the screen you placed
In empty rooms and in the clouds
Splice in what you wish you said, and
Lock the picture, burn the footage up
I wanna steal away
Distorted by the day
That stole and wore my face
And my name
I wish that I could say
There’s comfort in your wake
No pride when I decay
No monuments
Tear open your mmory, and
Let the light pour out
On to the screen you placd
In empty rooms and in the clouds
Splice in what you wish you said, and
Lock the picture, burn the footage up
Single file
Wiping the slate clean, while
All of the chalk dust clouds
Get caught in my lungs
You’re saving a verse for a melody
Repeating the words to yourself
As you clench your chest
And pray that distraction comes faster than help
I’m pulling the shards from my tongue again
You spent the night chewing your sleeve
Now you’re so choked up
It seems like it hurts you whenever you breathe
I heard you speak several languages
You said you learned them from me
So I used my thumbs to
Pry out messages I couldn’t read
(You saved me)
Use the hand you’re good with
(It's fine)
Use the hand you’re good with
Use the hand you’re good with
And you’ll be just fine
