Monument Square People

(album: The Negatives - 2014)

Hell bent on 'time and temp'
Shadow cast on lives darker than death
Was on the 'west', I'm out on the 'east'
'The End' are the rocks on the beach

Failure can't hold my head high
On a search for something less
I found myself with emptiness
Was on the east. I'm out on the west
Home is a friend that couldn't give me his best
(Portland is the friend that couldn't give you his best)

Failure can't hold my head high
Protest till I make things right
Redemption inside
Failure can't hold my head high
Protest till I make things right
No thrills just pills
Just pills and a face to fill

And only one of these can ease this beast

Was on the west now I'm out on the east
Revenge is nothing but the rock at your feet

Failure
Protest
Redemption inside
