[Verse 1]
Acid rain stained skyscrapers
Pointing only towards failed ambition (Alone!)
Alone in the city of millions
He walks on the left
Against the ebb and flow of traffic
Outwardly pushing but inwardly pulling
Wanting to connect to the source
He's too afraid to ask certain dimensions of himself to one
(Too afraid!)
[Refrain]
He is the monolith
[Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
Like limbs of a dismembered poet
Rippling veins undulate beneath dermal scars
(Through the scars!)
Yet above the internal wounds
That never seem to knit completely (Alone!)
A world made of grey matter housing the city he calls his own
Standing on a ledge
He surveys the land between his feet and the horizon
(Heat-seeking projectile!)
Heat-seeking projectile lines
And run through the flame-retardant dress of the mob
And with the even pace of rolling steam in time
[Refrain]
He is the monolith
(The monolith!)
[Chorus]
They will break
They will burn
But if feels honest
They will break
They will burn
But if feels honest
They will break
They will burn
But if feels honest
They will break
They will burn
But if feels honest
They will break
They will break
But if feels honest
[Outro]
It feels honest
It-it feels honest
It feels honest
It feels honest
