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
