Monuments

I don't want to see
The gates of Rome
Until they're ready
To be opened up for you

I don't care how shiny
We can get the marble
There are some things
Dirtier than dirt

There is a monument so white
All the bones stacked side by side
It is smooth to the touch
Until you see the lines they form

I don't want to see
The gates of Rome
Until they're ready
To open up for you

I don't care how shiny
We can get the marble
There are some things
Dirtier than dirt

Every monument we build
Leaves a hole to be filled
We can cover it until
It is smooth to the touch

What is smooth to the touch?

I don't want to see
The gates of Rome
Until they're ready
To be opened for you, too

I don't care how shiny
We can get the marble
There are some things
Dirtier than dirt
