Monroe Face

from Poetry Collection - 01 by Cody Weber

lyrics

I'm a Monroe face in a dead place
With steady hands to clip the wings
Of birds in flight that die by night
And come back to tell of better things

Of things that never come to be
As love becomes a hate machine
Load up on drugs and kill your friends
For sad rock stars with holes through heads

I'm a Monroe face in a dead place
With eyes that see like a liar's lips
Of times now gone by setting sun
It's always been the way it is

The way it never should have been
Is now the room we're playing in
Of girls I've fucked but rarely loved
But said I did...because, because

I do not know who I have been
And I only have these memories
I've tasted every flavor here
But have yet to taste a single thing

I've seen the shores of those unknown
As my body slept in Iowa
The wind across my face did show
A lack of contribution

I'm a Monroe face in a dead place
Now put me back inside the earth
Poke holes beneath so I can breathe
Because death is not the anti-birth

It's the anti-birds in anti-flight
That feed on tides by vast moonlight
And dim streetlights
And dull fistfights

And there is no fear where there are no guns
No teeth where there is no pavement
The cops are here, now hide your life
I'm pretty sure they're here to take it

There is no wrong
Where there is no right
And since the dark
Defines the night

We must be going places, dear
But they're never going to catch me here

Let me make the sentiment clear

I'm a Monroe face in a dead place
And everything dead
Will always be

And everything born
Will still someday be

Dead

So carry on, forget the sun
And come back to talk of better things.

I'm a Monroe face in a dead place
