MONOLITH (Explicit)

Lyrics by：Melanie Martinez/Christopher J. Baran

Produced by：CJ Baran/Melanie Martinez

I'm yours for the taking a piece of clay

Mold me to be what you want today

Shape me and I'll try my best to stay

I'll stand tall

Give me all your pain and your trauma bond

I'll be the shoulder that you cry on

Listen to the sound of my aching voice

I'll be here

When wolves come to hunt my flesh

I wish someone would save me

'Cause God knows that I spend my life

Doing all of the saving

I guess that I'll just be a cardboard cutout or a meme

Whatever they want me to be

I am the monument the monolith

A wound cracked open for them to pour salt in

Exposed nerves a tooth that's pulled

A vibrant bouquet

Getting plucked 'til it's nothing

Hand me the weight of your soul again

I'm just a mirror that you live in

Statue of everything that you love

And what you hate

Tell me what it is that I owe you now

While I run my head to the fucking ground

Wish I could get up and run away

But who'd be there?

And when I take off my mask

I wish someone would see me

Sullen bruised and scorned

A stitched-up doll with their heart beating

I've said how I felt before

But still no one was listening

Guess I'll go missing

I am the monument the monolith

A wound cracked open for them to pour salt in

Exposed nerves a tooth that's pulled

A vibrant bouquet

Getting plucked 'til it's nothing

Fantasize romanticize

Infantilize and project lies

Dehumanize and scrutinize

God why won't you euthanize me?

A pillar an icon a relic a ruin

A demon a whore a girl who's stupid

A pillar an icon a relic a ruin

A demon a whore a girl who's stupid

A pillar an icon a relic a ruin

A demon a whore a girl who's stupid

A pillar an icon a relic a ruin

A demon a whore a girl who's stupid

A pillar an icon a relic a ruin

A demon a whore a girl who's stupid

A pillar an icon a relic a ruin

A demon a whore a girl who's stupid
