IV
The Monument Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How to be alone
When happiness decays
Silent cries for help
Another way
Return to me
Like a rising flame
An anxious dream
And all the I was
And all that I’m made of
The people outside and
The world that surrounds us
So don’t let me go out there alone
Then she speaks to me
Tell me when the weight pulls down
Tell me when you feel like you can’t get up
Tell me when you’re in to deep
Tell me that you need me
Tell me when you need me
Tell me when the weight pulls down
Tell me when you feel like you can’t get up
Tell me when you’re in to deep
Tell me that you need me
Tell me when you need me
Don’t fade away
Lost inside my own head
Hands start to shake
It’s my brain against my body
Heart palpitations, loud sounds
Collapse to the ground
Spinning out of my control
And again she says to me
Tell me when the weight pulls down
Tell me when you feel like you can’t get up
Tell me when you’re in to deep
Tell me that you need me
Tell me when you need me
Tell me when the weight pulls down
Tell me when you feel like you can’t get up
Tell me when you’re in to deep
Tell me that you need me
Tell me when you need me
Can you stay by my side
Tell me when the weight pulls down
Tell me when you feel like you can’t get up
Tell me when you’re in to deep
Tell me that you need me
Tell me when you need me
Tell me when the weight pulls down
Tell me when you feel like you can’t get up
Tell me when you’re in to deep
Tell me that you need me
Tell me when you need me
So tell me
Just tell me
So tell me
So tell me
Just tell me
Would you tell me
Won't you tell me
Tell me when the weight pulls down
Tell me when you feel like you can’t get up
Tell me when you’re in to deep




Tell me that you need me
Tell me when you need me
