Monument

The end of the circle Tides that roll and sway Follow in my wake, come my way I'm keeping it simple Wants replaced by needs Following in my wake, come my way Monument, statue made from your regret Permanent, we create the perfect life That time will never die To keep ourselves alive day by day There's no protection here Blowing wind and pouring rain Overwhelming sadness floods my brain But I keep searching, hoping Waiting for the sun That always shines so bright on everyone Monument, I create so confident Walls of sound that keep the sky from falling down I live in a cloud of endless dreams Floating so high above everything I try to be happy every day But my black heart, it burns The white ash gets the turn I never ever learn But that's my way Monument, past away, yeah Permanent, that's ok, yeah I live in a cloud of endless dreams I floated so high above everything I tried to be happy every day But my black heart, it burned The white ash gets a turn I never ever learned --- Monument - Bob Mould
