Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm yours for the taking, a piece of clayMold me to be what you want todayShape me, and I'll try my best to stayI'll stand tall Give me all your pain and your trauma bondI'll be the shoulder that you cry onListen to the sound of my aching voiceI'll be here [Pre-Chorus] When wolves come to hunt my fleshI wish someone would save me'Cause God knows that I spend my lifeDoing all of the saving I guess that I'll just be a cardboard cutout or a memeWhatever they want me to be [Chorus] I am the monument, the monolithA wound cracked open for them to pour salt in Exposed nerves, a tooth that's pulled A vibrant bouquetGetting plucked 'til it's nothing [Verse 2] Hand me the weight of your soul againI'm just a mirror that you live inStatue of everything that you loveAnd what you hateTell me what it is that I owe you nowWhile I run my head to the fucking groundWish I could get up and run awayBut who'd be there? [Pre-Chorus] And when I take off my maskI wish someone would see meSullen, bruised, and scorned A stitched-up doll with their heart beating I've said how I felt beforeBut still, no one was listeningGuess I'll go missing [Chorus] I am the monument, the monolithA wound cracked open for them to pour salt in Exposed nerves, a tooth that's pulled A vibrant bouquetGetting plucked 'til it's nothing [Outro] Fantasize, romanticizeInfantilize and project liesDehumanize and scrutinizeGod, why won't you euthanize me?A pillar, an icon, a relic, a ruinA demon, a whore, a girl who's stupidA pillar, an icon, a relic, a ruinA demon, a whore, a girl who's stupidA pillar, an icon, a relic, a ruinA demon, a whore, a girl who's stupidA pillar, an icon, a relic, a ruinA demon, a whore, a girl who's stupidA pillar, an icon, a relic, a ruinA demon, a whore, a girl who's stupidA pillar, an icon, a relic, a ruinA demon, a whore, a girl who's stupid
