Monolith
Flowers and Machines Lyrics

My story is a sad one
My life's narrative is filled with sorrow and despair

My life a valley of death
My existence resembles a deep, gloomy abyss of mortality

What gave me salvation
That which once provided me with deliverance and solace

Gives me hell now
Now inflicts upon me torment and anguish

I'm not human anymore
I no longer possess the qualities or essence of humanity

Trying to escalate the Hill of self deploration
Struggling to ascend the mountain of self-reflection and sorrow

My will is crashing down
My determination is collapsing

It's fading
It is dissipating, losing its strength

I wanna go where the grass is taller
I desire to be in a place where the grass grows higher, symbolizing a better, happier environment

Where the sun is brighter
In a location where the sunlight shines with more intensity, signifying a more radiant and positive atmosphere

I wanna reach the fields of tranquillity
I yearn to attain the peaceful and serene meadows

Bathed in a silver moon
Enveloped in the gentle radiance of a shimmering silver moon

Just a little step into nothingness
Merely a small movement towards emptiness and void

I attempt to feel
I strive to experience emotions and sensations

But my heart is shattered
Yet my heart is broken into countless pieces

My soul is withering
My very essence is dwindling and decaying

My inner strength destroyed
The power within me has been utterly demolished

Alone I shall perish
I will meet my demise in solitude

In forgotten ground
On forsaken and disregarded terrain

I can see redemption in this pain
Amidst this torment, I perceive the possibility of finding redemption

(I can't see redemption in this pain)
(Contrarily, I am unable to perceive any redemption in this pain)

I'm not suffering in vain
My suffering serves some purpose, it is not meaningless

(I am suffering in vain)
(On the contrary, I am suffering without purpose)

I am finally awake
I have awoken from a state of numbness and ignorance

(I am painfully awake)
(However, this awakening is accompanied by great agony)

No more! I will cry no more
I refuse to shed any more tears, to express any further sadness

I will moan no more
I will cease making lamentations

I will die no more
I will no longer embrace death as an option

What I've built shall fall
All that I have constructed and worked towards will collapse

I will be let down
I will experience disappointment and betrayal

(I won't be let down)
(Contrarily, I will not face betrayal or disappointment)

I will give up
I will surrender, abandon my pursuit

(I won't give up)
(On the contrary, I will not surrender or give up)

I will let you fall
I will allow you to stumble and descend

(I will hold your hand)
(However, I will offer my support and guidance)

And I know that I will break
And I am aware that I will shatter

(Now I know that I won't break)
(Now I realize that I will endure and remain intact)

With desolate fear
Accompanied by a profound sense of dread and despair

(With dissolute courage)
(Despite lacking courage or strength)

Into the flames of hell
Entering the scorching fires of torment and suffering

(In the meadows of heaven)
(Contrarily, in the serene and blissful meadows of paradise)
