Caroline's Monkey

(专辑： Memento Mori - 2023)

Caroline knows how fragile we are
With hope as our faith
We look to the stars
Caroline's monkey is crying again
There's no satisfaction
On Caroline's train

Caroline leaks through holes in her skin
Her promise of sweetness
Forgiveness and everything
Caroline's monkey coos in her ear
Drives like a demon
Through Caroline's tears

Caroline feels the ice in her veins
The minutes and hours
The naming of days
Caroline said her dream never ends
For Caroline's monkey
And Caroline's friends

Fading's better than failing
Falling's better than feeling
Folding's better than losing
Fixing's better than healing
Sometimes

Caroline's monkey claws at her back
Colder than winter
Darker than black
Caroline's monkey is hungry again
Running with scissors
On needles and pins

Caroline's monkey lives where she lays
Sleeps like a thief
And steals through the days
Caroline's monkey makes up all the fun
Leaves chaos and ruin
On Caroline's tongue

Caroline knows how fragile we are
With hope as our faith
We look to the stars
Caroline's monkey is crying again
There's no satisfaction
On Caroline's train

Fading's better than failing
Falling's better than feeling
Folding's better than losing
Fixing's better than healing
Sometimes
