An Ocean's Monument
We put the fear of God into this world
We lost the war on the non-existent
We fought the greed of men among the dead
Altruistic, systematic.
Down your love so I can drown, so I can drown my shame.
Bring the drugs so I can numb, so I can numb my pain.
You cried out the pain in words like plagues
A serpentine monument for the lambs.
O'Brother "“ What made us fall from grace?
Destructive, systematic.
An ocean
Of broken glass.
An ocean
To drown the rats.
Down your love so I can drown, so I can drown my shame.
Bring the drugs so I can numb, so I can numb my pain.
Drown your thoughts to let me dream, to let me dream again.
And go with all the guilt and shame a thousand times "“ in vain.
An ocean's monument.
An ocean's monument.
An ocean's monument.
An ocean's monument.
An ocean's monument.
An ocean's monument.
An ocean's monument.
An ocean's monument.
Down your love so I can drown, so I can drown my shame.
Bring the drugs so I can numb, so I can numb my pain.
Drown your thoughts to let me dream, to let me dream again.
And go with all the guilt and shame a thousand times "“ in vain.
