The Monolith

Break the silence if I may? If I may?
What is the meaning of this cage? Of this cage? (What?)
You're killing me day by day, by day
Cut me with this, brand me with that

I'm overwhelmed, in the corner of darkness
When I realise there's no walls
I'm grappling, wrestling with my demons
As the advocate to them calls

I blame you for it (Brave taker)
I blame you for everything
I'll hold you to it (I hate and fear you)
Behold your own reckoning
I'm waiting for gravity to bend
Eyes wide open hoping the stars grow up from the ground
The stars grow beneath this town
I'm soaring over particles of sin
Hands tied, knee deep in something teaming of afterlife
Get it out of my sight

Play the martyr if you must, if you must
Pulling the tongue out of the mouth of my trust
Watching my body falling in, growing rust
Kill me with this or I'll end you like that

I'm overwhelmed, in the corner of darkness
When I realise there's no walls
I'm grappling, wrestling with my demons
As the advocate to them calls

(Break the silence if I may? If I may?
What is the meaning of this cage? Of this cage? (What?)
You're killing me day by day, by day
Cut me with this, brand me with that)

I blame you for it (brave taker)
I blame you for everything
I'll hold you to it (I hate and fear you)
Behold your own reckoning
It pulls you underneath like nothing I've ever seen
It pulled me underneath, this is not my usual dream

I'm waiting for gravity to bend
Eyes wide open hoping the stars grow up from the ground
The stars grow beneath this town
I'm soaring over particles of sin
Hands tied, knee deep in something teaming of afterlife
Get it out of my sight
