Monuments Lyrics

The flaws with manifestation are too numerous to enumerate I know

Down, we go

Halfway up the coast I noticed that my half-wit haircut couldn't stay the fuck up

Here we go

This is it

I've been bored, I've been weird

I've been so alone and involuntarily celibate

Eighteen years led me to a perfect moment

I held your hand under the Washington Monument

We sat on that bench, and I saw an angel

Who knew derangement would ensue

(Braking force)

You can't say that you didn't want me there

(Braking force)

I can't say that I really even cared

(Braking force)

I just knew that I wanted to not be alone

And I thought I knew you

I didn't know a thing

I didn't know a goddamn thing

Manifesting affection

The state of affairs just a few months later

Chaotic, dysfunctional

The facade of a normal love was gone

What I witnessed would scar me for years to come

The braking force of a crash alone could displace your organs

The signs were there all along, I didn't notice

Paid for it then, thought it fine by the morning

The clarity of a fucking teenager

Who didn't know that he had a developmental disorder

(Braking force)

You must think the most awful things of me

(Braking force)

Well, I can't say that I don't harbor some enmity

And I thought I knew you (I thought I knew you)

I didn't know a thing (I didn't know a thing)

I didn't know a goddamn thing

(I didn't know)

And I reflect upon the passion that we shared

And I think back before it got so bad

The memories are fading now

But I still recall somewhere deep inside

And I think back to how it felt to love you

In the prime of my youth

The beginning of my understanding

My god, I was so naive

And I remember the look on your face

When we lied in the hammock by the lake

You showed me a side of you that was innocent

Braking force, see the trauma in motion

Manifesting affection

Braking force, see the trauma in motion

Manifesting affection

Braking force, see the trauma in motion

Manifesting affection

Braking
