Monolith

 
A 
I'm yours for the taking, a piece of clay 
D 
Mold me to be what you want today 
A 
Shape me, and I'll try my best to stay 
D 
  I'll stand tall 
A 
Give me all your pain and your trauma bond 
D 
I'll be the shoulder that you cry on 
A                                D 
Listen to the sound of my aching voice 
D 
 I'll be here 
 

 
  Bm                  E 
When wolves come to hunt my flesh 
A        G           D/F# 
I wish someone would save me 
Bm                     E 
'Cause God knows that I spend my life 
A     G        D/F# 
 Doing all of the saving 
Bm               E           A          G           D/F# 
  I guess that I'll just be a cardboard cutout or a meme 
Bm                 E 
  Whatever they want me to be 
 

 
           D             Dm 
I am the monument, the monolith 
   A             G         D/F# 
A wound cracked open for them to pour salt in 
D                 Dm 
Exposed nerves, a tooth that's pulled 
 A           G 
A vibrant bouquet 
    D/F#                  D      Dm 
Getting plucked 'til it's nothing 
 

 
A 
Hand me the weight of your soul again 
D 
I'm just a mirror that you live in 
 A                            D 
Statue of everything that you love 
D 
 And what you hate 
A 
Tell me what it is that I owe you now 
D 
While I run my head to the fucking ground 
A                               D 
Wish I could get up and run away 
D 
 But who'd be there? 
 

 
 Bm               E 
And when I take off my mask 
A    G       D/F# 
 I wish someone would see me 
Bm             E 
  Sullen, bruised, and scorned 
A        G        D/F# 
 A stitched-up doll with their heart beating 
Bm               E 
  I've said how I felt before 
A        G     D/F#              Bm 
  But still, no one was listening 
           E 
Guess I'll go missing 
 

 
           D             Dm 
I am the monument, the monolith 
  A              G         D/F# 
A wound cracked open for them to pour salt in 
D                  Dm 
Exposed nerves, a tooth that's pulled 
 A           G 
A vibrant bouquet 
      D/F#                D      Dm 
Getting plucked 'til it's nothing 
 

Outro: 

Bm 
Fantasize, romanticize 
  E 
Infantilize and project lies 
  A               E/G# 
Dehumanize and scrutinize 
F#m                           Bm 
God, why won't you euthanize me? 
                               E 
A pillar, an icon, a relic, a ruin 
                                 A 
A demon, a whore, a girl who's stupid 
              G                 D/F# 
A pillar, an icon, a relic, a ruin

A pillar, an icon, a relic, a ruin 
                                N.C. 
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
