Verse 1:
B
I'm yours for the taking, a piece of clay
E
Mold me to be what you want today
B
Shape me, and I'll try my best to stay
E
  I'll stand tall
B
Give me all your pain and your trauma bond
E
I'll be the shoulder that you cry on
B                                E
Listen to the sound of my aching voice
E
 I'll be here

Pre-chorus:
  Dbm                 Gb
When wolves come to hunt my flesh
B        A           E
I wish someone would save me
Dbm                    Gb
'Cause God knows that I spend my life
B     A        E
 Doing all of the saving
Dbm              Gb          B          A           E
  I guess that I'll just be a cardboard cutout or a meme
Dbm                Gb
  Whatever they want me to be

Chorus:
           E             Em
I am the monument, the monolith
   B             A         E
A wound cracked open for them to pour salt in
E                 Em
Exposed nerves, a tooth that's pulled
 B           A
A vibrant bouquet
    E                     E      Em
Getting plucked 'til it's nothing

Verse 2:
B
Hand me the weight of your soul again
E
I'm just a mirror that you live in
 B                            E
Statue of everything that you love
E
 And what you hate
B
Tell me what it is that I owe you now
E
While I run my head to the xxxxxxx ground
B                               E
Wish I could get up and run away
E
 But who'd be there?

Pre-chorus:
 Dbm              Gb
And when I take off my mask
B    A       E
 I wish someone would see me
Dbm            Gb
  Sullen, bruised, and scorned
B        A        E
 A stitched-up doll with their heart beating
Dbm              Gb
  I've said how I felt before
B        A     E                 Dbm
  But still, no one was listening
           Gb
Guess I'll go missing

Chorus:
           E             Em
I am the monument, the monolith
  B              A         E
A wound cracked open for them to pour salt in
E                  Em
Exposed nerves, a tooth that's pulled
 B           A
A vibrant bouquet
      E                   E      Em
Getting plucked 'til it's nothing

Outro:
Dbm
Fantasize, romanticize
  Gb
Infantilize and project lies
  B               Gb
Dehumanize and scrutinize
Abm                           Dbm
God, why won't you euthanize me?
                               Gb
A pillar, an icon, a relic, a ruin
                                 B
A demon, a xxxxx, a girl who's stupid
              A                 E
A pillar, an icon, a relic, a ruin
                                 Dbm
A demon, a xxxxx, a girl who's stupid
                               Gb

A demon, a xxxxx, a girl who's stupid
