The Republic Of Wolves
Monument
I’ve been waiting on a response for days
There’s been a complication
It seems your heart needed a break
From pumping the blood through your veins
And keeping the oxygen okay
I still see your face in the day
And I see your eyes in the bottle that was way too tall
I finished it just to see if we could talk
Now I’m speaking with your ghost again
It’s telling me that I don’t listen
Can we be friends
In another lifetime
I might pretend that we are right now
I summoned demons from a dying tree
I took a long walk off a short levee
I drank the poison from a black moon seed
And then I saw you
I felt your kiss in a dream I had
I felt your skin in a monument
Then I went home to live a brand new life without you
I buried all our things
Beneath the giant shadows of the clouds
And they will stay there underground
But no matter what I do I never will stop talking to you
I never did get the last word in
And you said I always did
