Furniture - Monuments lyrics

Raised iron to rust Monuments ache They're coming apart But we're still the same Monuments torn Voices will chime The ghosts of our scorn Remembered in rhyme As they wander new halls Away, away Give up your reasons To stay, to stay Feel nothing Because, because What makes a man Is his worth, his worth In finality when we leave The monuments we build will grieve Counting down the days Distant rumbling engines sigh Whispered neon lullabies The city sleeps as it waits for you Counting down the days 14 billion cycles deep Stars are born and stars perish The best laid plans might not wait for you Oh what a change can a day make? How else to live a life when someday it will end? Oh make a change before the day breaks Take time to realise truth is its own defence
