Statues

There's a statue of a man somewhere
No one knows quite why he's there
With graffiti in his sculpted hair
But I think that he's too dead to care

Who decides
Who's a statue?
Immortalize
One side of the truth
In the most beautiful faces
That hide what they're erasing
Who's a statue?
Who's a statue?
The artist builds her masterpiece
This man, she builds the way she sees him
But art bends just like history
Stained by subjectivity

Who decides
Who's a statue?
Immortalize
One side of the truth
In the most beautiful faces
That hide what they're erasing
Who's a statue?
Who's a statue?
Who's a statue?

Building up and tearing down
Ashes, ashes all around
Building up and tearing down
Ashes, ashes all around
Building up and tearing down
Ashes, ashes all around
Building up and tearing down
Ashes, ashes all around

Who decides
Who's a statue?
Immortalize
One side of the truth
In the most beautiful faces
That hide what they're erasing (Who decides)
Who's a statue? (Who decides)
Who's a statue? (Who decides)
Who's a statue? (Who decides)
