Monument - The Game Lyrics

Standing frozen alone I fall onto the game board
Push me through, pull my strings and kick me when I'm down
I try to run, I have no will, I am man no more
Alone in the darkness, searching for the lies

You take from me my dreams
You take from me my life
All that I cannot be
Is all that you've taken from me

Kneeling alone on a curb I raise my head to gasp
Light reflects off the beads of broken glass
Feeling limbs begin to give, I hit the ground
You're there in the darkness, destroying my life

You take from me my dreams
You take from me my life
All that I cannot be
Is all that you've taken from me

You can't take my anger, you can't take my drive
You can't take my desire, you can't take my pride
I will find you in the darkness and make my final stand
I will take you by the throat and drive you in the ground

Beading sweat rolls off my brow beating on the ground
Digging into the asphalt blood all around
Spitting out the taste of dirt and laughing out loud
Alone in the darkness stomping out the lies

You take from me my dreams
You take from me my life
All that I cannot be
Is all that you've taken from me

You can't take my anger, you can't take my drive
You can't take my desire, you can't take my pride
I will find you in the darkness and make my final stand
I will take you by the throat and drive you in the ground

I can see you standing there, eyes wrapped in fear
The dry air burns your throat, as you turn and wonder
If I'll be there

You can't take my anger, you can't take my drive
You can't take my desire, you can't take my pride
I will find you in the darkness and make my final stand
I will take you by the throat and drive you in the ground

Running forward alone I jump from the game board
Push you through, pull your strings and kick you when you're down
Reaching for a glimpse to grasp, I pass by
You're there in the darkness searching for the lies

You take from me my dreams
You take from me my life
All that I cannot be
Is all that you've taken from me
