lyrics

They said sit down.
(thunder of drums)

You threw your stones, I kept the pile
Been building something all the while
A staircase first, and then a spire
Your doubt burns lovely on the fire
(higher, higher)

Watch the scaffolding come down
(down, down)
There's a skyline where I drowned

I am the monument now
Floodlit, unshakable, proud
I am the monument, see
You're just the weather to me
(the monument! the monument!)

You kept a list of what I'm not
I framed it, hung it — thanks a lot
It's in the lobby, lit in gold
The first lie visitors are told
(lit in gold)

I was rubble once
(once)
Rubble remembers. Rubble becomes.

I am the monument now
Floodlit, unshakable, proud
I am the monument, see
You're just the weather to me
(the monument! the monument!)

(the monument... still shining... still mine)
