Monkeys (v. 2)


Monkeys falling everywhere
So let's all have a drink
I know it caught you unprepared
But please don't cause a stink

Chaos bred the end result
From nightmares never wished
While passing out for who's at fault
In slumber with the fish

A magic trick to cut in half
The reasons we can't seem to grasp
Voices calling out to be dismissed

Monkeys falling all around
But it isn't what you think
What once was lost can now be found
Or pushed towards the brink

Winter froze the final call
With dreams to pay the cost
Apparent now in signs that stalled
Passed out from the exhaust

A magic trick to cut in half
The reasons we can't seem to grasp
Voices crying out for what's been lost

Some things come but all things go
While soon enough, they all explode
holding off, we're blinded by the smoke

Drawn to every open flame
Like moths to shipwrecks not contained
Waiting for the signal, then they'll choke
It's such a joke, it's such a joke

A magic trick to cut in half
The reasons we can't seem to grasp
Voices all so drowned out and remote
Failing now to try and stay afloat
