Monuments
I refuse to write about you.
I refuse to romanticise you
into something beautiful.
Something human
You'll get no tower that reaches the stars
No songs composed in your memory
No tragic tales of heartache and grief
I refuse to make you immortal
They say love is war
Well not all battles deserve a monument
Sometimes you just have to cut your losses
Bury your dead in an unmarked grave
Salt the earth
And move the fuck on
I refuse to romanticise you
into something beautiful.

They say love is war
Well not all battles deserve a monument
Sometimes you just have to cut your losses
Bury your dead in an unmarked grave
Salt the earth
And move the fuck on

We oft lose many battles before winning the war we're destined to win at some point. Good pen, Apollo.

I refuse to write about you.
I refuse to romanticise you

Yes that sums it up.
