Undertow - Monument Lyrics

There's a thought that drives my day
The need to make a monument

So look away look down
As they carve the mountains of my home
Cut into the living stone
Turn the mountains into sand
Strip the soul from the land

There's nothing but clouds
In my blue sky
So I stand in the rain
And wait for the sun

In the burning wastes of this no man's land
Nothing shocks us anymore
You look at me and then you look away
Into the black where the angels lay
Jackhammer jockeys with TNT
Blast the pearl inside of me
Born of sand of discontent
No stone to grind and empty wheel

There's nothing but clouds
In my blue sky
So I stand in the rain
And wait for the sun

Here I am and here I stand
Say a prayer for my monument
There's nothing but clouds
In my blue sky

Bring the cities to the wild
Cast away this desert child
Building cities made of glass
Planting still the killing grass

Say a prayer say a prayer
For my monument this monument
Yeah

There's nothing but clouds
In my blue sky
So I stand in the rain
And wait for the sun
Here I am and here I stand
Say a prayer for my monument
There's nothing but clouds
In my blue sky
So I stand in the rain
And I'll wait for the sun
