Monkey
Lyrics and Music by Ryan Van

I should've known something was wrong,
the way you're looking at me.
You've got a diamond eye for beauty, but youre blind to see.
You don't want to talk about it. Can't set your monkey free.
Caught you walking in the shadows,
letting bleeding hearts bleed. Can't set your monkey free.
What's it like to close your eyes, and tell me what you see.
The magic of kaleidoscope skies, raining misery.
What's it like to be reliant, in a world of fleas.
You don't want to talk about it. Can't set your monkey free.

Lay you on the crucifix, spin your eyes to face the sky.
Find the only thing in you
that has survived the morning glory.
It is with you that this moment stands beside itself.
It is with you that this moment stands alone.
Wake tomorrow, wake tomorrow,
only to find the true meaning of what was.
Fall asleep once more in forgetance of today.
It was with you that you spent these days of mourning,
and it is with you that you will die a golden man.

Shake, remember,
shake, remember,
shake, remember,
you fell asleep because you wanted to.
You woke up because you had to.
Dreams are made of silence and prayer.
