Carve it out

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
