Monument Lyrics
The sun never shines on me, I'm a shadow myself and for others I might beCatch your stare before you turn your head from my appearance, but I saw you stareAfraid to see my face, afraid to see yourself reflected in my button-eyesIn a field of straws I pick the shortest onesHarvest desireBeside the lamenting wind nothing ever moves me, we kiss without breathIn the midst of a tight embrace, recall the famous phrase: "You too, my son?"Eye for an eye, a stake for a spine, I'm the mirror that stands before youBirds come picking at your eyes, come picking at your smile, just to remind youThe world ain't a pretty sightIn a field of straws I pick the shortest onesSowing a wishGazed into the sunFor far too longBurned...My eyesWas I wrong to dream my dreams?I've been holding my breath so long that I don't know how to breatheLike an actor in a final scene, he falls down to the stageNever convincing though as the audience stands and leavesSo no one ever sees that he never gets up againAnd the curtains of the night will fall upon the sunBleeding with a smile, I tryTo think of all the lies he swallowedPull the stake out of my heartI won't forgetNever forgiveNo excuseNo forgivenessWas I wrong to believe in the virtue of man?So blind that I never saw that the fields around me burned down to the groundSo I stand tall in a withered field once moreRooted in the dirt, I'm boundYet my arms stretch to the sky where I belongI belong...
