Tired War, Release the Monkeys

Tired War,Release the Monkeys They tried to nail my boot to the floor No nail puller My influence won the day I was the monkey man Earn the right I want to ask Just for a little more time Growing life growing tree just to lose it Can't you see Life got to be better Once I lit that cigarette Ocean of tomorrows Swells Fasten our belts There's air escaping This world has a leak Just before a cats shadow beyond the hill Against the grayish stucco plastered wall Fortune of forever Now its in your face Fear fear fear its all coming together Together Why I fear completion Or falling apart Put your mind in another place Seeing the sun cut out to shade I promise to do enough oxygen enough empty space for you To have another cigarette Well I can't say that you suck Unless I can do better But even then I saw monkeys Hooked up to masks I wondered who is actually murdering their ass Well the monkey mysteriously went away Hope take me away from tragedy My old friend stayed Giving death sentences like belonging to some hell bent regime The trumpets sounded I let it finish I faded into forget
