Lyrics No One Will Teach You (feat. Neema Askari) - Monuments

Every power that rises up must fall apart
Every life that ends will someday start again
Every power that rises up must fall apart
Every life that ends will someday start again

Eyes shift to filter the unseen
We deny our reality
Lives drifting through the space between
Death and eternity

Every power that rises up must fall apart
Every life that ends will someday start again
Brief serenity takes its leave, making way for
Chapters of despair
This is our cross to bear

Blinded
Chosen to conquer and pursue
Misfortune falls on the absent-minded
Broken from all that we've been through
We wander with no guidance

We're separated, as we scream
There's no air left for us to breathe
And what's left between you and me
We've destroyed, strategically
No one will teach you to see
Blinded egocentrically
Apathetic we still scream
Choking on smoke from conceit
No one will teach you
(Our perception's damaged from the start)
No one will teach you
(Without light to navigate the dark)
No one will teach you
(Every struggle makes us who we are)
No one will teach you to see
Hate is perpetuated to facilitate greed

I will stabilize in equilibrium

At glory's call, you build your walls, now standing tall
(When get what you give, equilibrium)
Time takes us all, before too long, I'll watch you fall

Souls of the damned writhe in pain as the devil scalds their ever-changing faces
Roots of the earth and the powers that bind us all will rearrange in stasis

Blinded
Chosen to conquer and pursue
Misfortune falls on the absent-minded
Broken from all that we've been through
We wander with no guidance

I will stabilize in equilibrium
