Counterparts - Monument Lyrics






I am a desperate attempt at putting my exhaustion into words
Cut my tongue out of my mouth
It's about as useless as my lungs

I have nothing left in me to give
I am a monument for those who live
And breathe in empty space

Put a fucking bullet in my head
And dig your feet into my back before you leave

Murder me and my intentions or bury me alive
Fill my lungs with dirt and watch the light drain from my eyes
Fold me in half like the blank pages that will taunt me to my face
Words like razors aimed directly at my wrists and now I speak

I have nothing left in me to give
Words like razors aimed directly at my wrists and now I speak
I have nothing left in me to give
Tie my lies around my throat until I finally tell the truth

I have nothing left in me to give
Words like razors aimed directly at my wrists and now I speak
I have nothing left in me to give
This is my eulogy, don't pretend to miss me when I'm gone

  1. C.... ....

    You guys are getting more popular than you were a few years ago. Well deserved, you've been making great music since the start.

  2. L.... L....

    This music is so amazing, the music has been made, mixed and mastered by Will Putney. 👍🙂

  3. G.... S....

    Love it.

  4. D.... D....

    COUNTERPARTS 905 BITCH

  5. A.... B....

    As much as I like Will Putneys production, the drums here sound plastic or something

  6. L.... ....

    Ayyyeeeeeeee rawww vibessssss came here from the live drum

  7. S.... F....

    The drums sound paper thin in this, they need to work with someone better

  8. D.... 1....

    Kelly and Jesse played on this song....

    D.... 1....

    Whaaat??? Kelly is the best man!!

  9. G.... G....

    0:39 ⛓⛓⛓

  10. M.... A....

    best band ever 💜💜💜 greetings from Indonesia 🇮🇩

  11. N.... A....

    Isn’t this an older song? Correct me if I’m wrong but I swear I listened to this when Current came out!

    N.... A....

    Its a b-side from Tragedy.

  12. S.... S....

    While I love Counterparts, this video rubs me the wrong way.
    This band is among the best modern hardcore bands, and yet the video is a joke. While I feel that it is important to have a good time and joke around with your band mates, (and in most cases, your best friends,) this video is not serious at all.
    "PUT A FUCKING BULLET IN MY HEAD," is a super discernible lyric in this song, and yet the visuals depict them in what seems as though they are at a Halloween party singing karaoke.

    I have, "You are your own memorial, find your mark and make it," tattooed on my arm from their song, "Soil." Their lyrics and music mean a lot to me; I hope this video is an outlier in what has traditionally been an anthology of genuine, melodic hardcore.

    S.... S....

    Give your fuckin balls a tug bud.

  13. L.... A....

    Wish there was a way I could have a small portion of their talent and write atleast one good song

  14. W.... E....

    Saw these guys in San Diego a month or so ago. Fucking amazing show.

  15. r.... o....

    Why the fuck is blake so sick

  16. O.... ....

    PUT A FUCKING BULLET IN MY HEAD!!!!!

  17. z.... ....

    Why only 3 songs?

  18. B.... R....

    Who hurt you Brendan

  19. T.... ....

    the heaviest band on the planet... earth crushing.

  20. T.... A....

    crap, I'm not prepared for that 2 seconds blast beat at the end

  21. N.... ....

    the more and more i hear this song. the more and more it really hits home, and i've jammed this tune 100+ times in the last month since my brother from another mother sent me it

  22. C.... M....

    Brendan, are you ok? This lyrics are fucking powerful...

  23. B.... O....

    Only 3 songs? They’re good but alright. And every one of his albums hits home and it’s depressing. Anyone worry that he’ll eventually kill himself. I mean Idek.

  24. A.... S....

    this band is so underrated

  25. P.... C....

    kinda sounds like Underoath's LITSOS album

  26. M.... P....

    I just came

  27. s.... m....

    Holy shit this sounds like the difference between hell and home which to me is their best work but damn this is fire

  28. i.... ....

    They always keep me alive.

  29. 1.... ....

    Is nobody worried that he is actually going kill himself???

    1.... ....

    It'll just make the music better.

    1.... ....

    Naw man. A lot of people live feeling this way but the idea of suicide doesn't really appeal to them. Some might say that you're just too scared to off yourself but it's my opinion that suicide is a coward's death even if you're ready to/want to die. Facing the cruelty of the world head on is the only way to overcome the suffering and to one day realize that the tragedy of existence is just your own perception of the nature of an impartial world. Gotta find peace within the chaos. Find peace within yourself.

    1.... ....

    Hope so.

    1.... ....

    Well, this is something you have to ask him personally. Because is pretty common that some songs of any artist are just old lirycs that they wrote even years ago.

    1.... ....

    I want to die but would never kill myself. We’re a certain breed of mindset.

  30. j.... ....

    that bloodbather shirt tho

  31. J.... V....

    This is a fucking suicide note. Is just beautiful.

  64. A.... o....

    Ahhhhhhhh this is so fucking good, counterparts deserve to be known, I hope they get huge

    A.... o....

    they are pretty fucking huge it ain't like they're underground hahaha

    A.... o....

    ladam97 they’re not that big, for the type of music they play they have a good following, but I want to see their view count in the millions and for them to be able to headline their own shows

    A.... o....

    they always doin headline tour mayne

  65. S.... ....

    Nice music. Getting TWFU vibes

    S.... ....

    It's a B-side from that album so you're spot on!

  66. R.... ....

    Still the best hardcore band around right now in my opinion.

    R.... ....

    Knocked Loose FTW

    R.... ....

    Knocked loose and counterparts are both the top bands in hardcore imo

    R.... ....

    Counterparts is emo and knocked loose is metalcore. Both are good bands but don't lump them together.

    R.... ....

    Every knocked loose song is the same and the singer sounds like Mickey Mouse... only reason kids like them is because they have a breakdown every 5 seconds

  67. T.... D....

    TWFU b side, been waiting for this for years since I've heard brendan talking about it on an interview prior to TWFU release back in 2015, Kelly and Jesse are notable on this, great to finally hear the song
