Let me introduce you to my dearest commodity Her name is Monique, and she likes to keep me company She’s as real as you make her, but nothing in the world can save her now I see her every day, and it’s something in the way that she walks I’d give her the world and tell her that she’s not alone Monique, my dear, why did you have to say no? [CHORUS]: Don’t be afraid / Open your eyes / Don’t turn away / Just let me inside This is the final day of memories that couldn’t sit still Without any thought, I won’t forget them until the lights are out, I’ve already etched them in stone Monique, my dear, why did you have to say no? [CHORUS] Reality, reality, is changing every day Righteousness, the righteousness that’s getting in the way Sleep this wretched day away Skin that’s a lifeless grey As this life fades… Let me introduce you to my dearest commodity Her name is Monique, and she likes to keep me company She’s as real as you make her, but nothing in the world can save her now
