Monument Lyrics by Jane Child

Here Not There

0

[Verse]
Pasted labels on my days
Well I was wandering faster than science
Going over the greenery

Where often just a change of stance
Could have us looking like a Christ

But there is hardly any more imagination
Ambushing the habits I have lately fallen into
Well I could sit for days like a statue
Even though I'm trying not to do the same things twice

[Chorus]
Throw a cloth around the shaking shoulders
Of the statues that you've built
You've built yourself into a monument, a monument
You'd even pray to it, whilе it was yawning

[Verse]
And just like zero in its constant emptinеss
I was uttering the words of some useless, unwritten scripture
Where often just a change of words
Could have us sounding like a Christ

[Chorus]
Throw a cloth around the shaking shoulders
Of the statues that you've built
You've built yourself into a monument, a monument
You'd even pray to it, while it was yawning

Throw a little money in the paper cups of
All those things that you forgot
You've built yourself into a monument, a monument
You'd even pray to it, while it was yawning
