Strange Gods - Monuments Lyrics

You know this isn't right
Hanging skeletons in your own closet
Spinning memories that haunt you through the night...

Giving credence to your failures
Justifying every hollow promise
Hiding misery, illuminated cancer

With a recollected anger
Shifting chemistries, a deadly poison
Sinking bridges into empty, violent oceans

I'll keep waiting on an upside
But I'm buried in this twilight
And there's nothing left
To bring me back to earth

I'll keep waiting on an upside
But I'm buried in this twilight
And there's nothing here
To bring me back to you

Mistaking vanity for favor
Flashing ignorance across existence
Glowing monuments reminding us of weakness

Riding light into a darkness
Torn apart at every signaled urging
Rotten legacies disposed in endless likeness

Bleeding dignity from ages
Realizing how far we've fallen
Grasping forward just to find there's only nothing

I'll keep waiting on an upside
But I'm buried in this twilight
And there's nothing left
To bring me back to earth

I'll keep waiting on an upside
But I'm buried in this twilight
And there's nothing here
To bring me back to you

Hopeless smiles behind the empty
Strip away the roots I've run
Faces aren't worth the listing
And I can't make it back to you

Perfect eyes distill the moment
Filling every space
Choking off the Garden calling
Still won't bring me back to you

Why don't you all
Bury it all
Why don't we all
Burn it all
Why don't you, why don't you, why
Burn it all
