An Ocean's Monument - DeadLock

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
