Lyrics
Another day slips by
as you write your memoir
None of the stories are true
but the lies got you this far
You’ve been sweeping in a hall of stars
where the portraits would mock you
You’ve been studying the war of art
to become a statue
Carve it out
make your face in the stone like you see it
Carve it out
in the shape of the god you believe in
Sleepwalking in their shoes
unaware of the distance
Still feeding on their truth
unafraid of resistance
It’s like running on a flight of stairs
neverending, ascending
It’s like a game of musical chairs
with the sound of your breathing
Carve it out
make your face in the stone like you see it
Carve it out
in the shape of the god you believe in
Carve it out
your face in marble
Carve it out
become immortal
You’ve been treating everyone like shit
Was it all for nothing?
You’ve never been the one to quit
’cause it’s all or nothing
Carve it out
make your face in the stone like you see it
Carve it out
in the shape of a god you believe in
