lyrics

I’ve been standing right here
Since the first day I remember
And remembrance is what I was raised for
A sentence on my socle
Sets a Thursday in September
Says I took a stand whenever, 404

Now my name, it got forgotten
As inscriptions been fading
While I’m just standing still
Come rain or shine
But it turns out that I’m
A different shape every time
A different person eventually
Casts an ›I‹ on me

Well, I stay
As they
Come & go on their way
Some may
Someday
Maybe meet me again
I’m not just
A statue
Instead you
See a little bit of yourself
Mirrored by me

Most don’t mind my immanent memories
Rebuild, repaint, rewrite them
A monument of a million minds & moans
Of comedies, more tragedies
That they just leave behind when
They incise those scratches in my stone
My marble skin is gettin‘ thin
Like the pages of a diary
My stony bones though bend & bow
Don’t break
A burden I can‘t abide, I’m weak
And broken deep inside, can’t seek
A safe haven to hide
Cos I am petrified

But I stay
As they
Come & go on their way
Some may
Someday
Maybe meet me again
I stand like
A statue
So that you
Can force a little bit of yourself
Right onto me

Why stay
As they
Come & go on their way?
Some may
Someday
Mutilate me again
And I’m just
A statue
For you
So you do maim my name, my memory
My identity
My identity
You scrape it off me
My identity

Well, I’ll remain
The same but not the same
Without a name
I’ll stain, it’s all in vain

And I’ll remain
The same but turn insane
My stone will stain
I’m slain – oh, what a shame

Wind & rain
They’ll maim my face & frame
Can’t take the pain
Restrain once more again

The acid rain
Will maim my face & frame
The stress, the strain
The pain, constant refrain…
