Monument Lyrics - Patch The Sky - Bob Mould

The end of the circle 

Tides that roll and sway 

Follow in my wake, come my way 

I'm keeping it simple 

Wants replaced by needs 

Following in my wake, come my way 

Monument, statue made from your regret 

Permanent, we create the perfect life 

That time will never die 

To keep ourselves alive day by day 

There's no protection here 

Blowing wind and pouring rain 

Overwhelming sadness floods my brain 

But I keep searching, hoping 

Waiting for the sun 

That always shines so bright on everyone 

Monument, I create so confident 

Walls of sound that keep the sky from falling down 

I live in a cloud of endless dreams 

Floating so high above everything 

I try to be happy every day 

But my black heart, it burns 

The white ash gets the turn 

I never ever learn 

But that's my way
