MONOLITH

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 A 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 Infantilize 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's stupid A pillar, an icon, a relic, a ruin A demon, a whore, a girl who's stupid A pillar, an icon, a relic, a ruin A demon, a whore, a girl who's stupid A pillar, an icon, a relic, a ruin A demon, a whore, a girl who's stupid A pillar, an icon, a relic, a ruin A demon, a whore, a girl who's stupid A pillar, an icon, a relic, a ruin A demon, a whore, a girl who's stupid Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid
