We build monuments and monoliths and point’em toward the heavens
No I don’t believe in Heaven, but I won’t deny its temptin’
In contempt, I mean contention, it’s a meaningful invention
We build monuments and monoliths and point’em toward the sky.
(In the eye of the storm) We were born in conjugation
(Parasites or the thorns) In the garden we were born; and adorned
By our vain and selfish attitudes, indifferent to each other
Building egos equal magnitude to
Monuments and monoliths and mountains
Now I fear annihilation. No, we need annihilation. There I go again…
Nihilism talking, I could use a good vacation from the devastation
Fabrication, syndicated TV stations. Isolation fascination.
There I, There I go again, talkin’ like a pessimist
Standing on the precipice, sinking in the sediment
In a world so fucking desolate,
You gotta try to think there’s something more than this

Keep walkin’, Keep k-keep walkin’. Everything I know is for show – Sleep talkin’
Can you keep me safe and relay what I’m lost in? Everybody stares at my soul when I walk in.
Keep talkin’, Keep k-keep talkin’. I’m fading and time slows when I go sleep-walkin’.
Can you find a place where we’re safe from the constant echoes on patrol?
‘Cause they know and they’re stalkin’.

Image, like a visage, or a figure in the sand
I must’ve missed it ‘cause my swiftness was reverted once again
Caught up in the ever-growing static. Social media, like mania, like manic
I’m a product of the knowledge bursting at the fingertips
Of every man, woman, and child with no more need for voice or lips
I got no need for voice or lips, all I got – my fingertips
To write it down – make me feel like I’m a fucking optimist

Keep walkin’, Keep k-keep walkin’. Everything I know is for show – Sleep talkin’
Can you keep me safe and relay what I’m lost in? Everybody stares at my soul when I walk in.
I’m not in control, it’s uncomfortable. You already know, they’re untouchable.
Must not sleep – Must warn others. It’s the mantra but the monster’s in my dreams and undercover.
Keep talkin’, Keep k-keep talkin’. I’m fading and time slows when I go sleep-walkin’.
Can you find a place where we’re safe from the constant echoes on patrol?
‘Cause they know and they’re stalkin’.
In my dreams I’m king but out here its kill or be seen, and I see in between.
I just want to sleep but I’m scared of letting go, where my thoughts are not my own and I feel like I’m not in control.
