An Ocean’s Monument lyrics

We put the fear of God into this world We lost the war on the non-existent We fought the greed of men among the dead Altruistic, systematic Down your love so I can drown, so I can drown my shame Bring the drugs so I can numb, so I can numb my pain You cried out the pain in words like plagues A serpentine monument for the lambs O’brother what made us fall from grace? Destructive, systematic. An ocean Of broken glass An ocean To drown the rats Down your love so I can drown, so I can drown my shame Bring the drugs so I can numb, so I can numb my pain Drown your thoughts to let me dream, to let me dream again And go with all the guilt and shame a thousand times in vain An ocean’s monument An ocean’s monument An ocean’s monument An ocean’s monument An ocean’s monument An ocean’s monument An ocean’s monument An ocean’s monument Down your love so I can drown, so I can drown my shame Bring the drugs so I can numb, so I can numb my pain Drown your thoughts to let me dream, to let me dream again And go with all the guilt and shame a thousand times in vain
