Caroline's Monkey

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Verse 3]

Caroline feels the ice in her veins

The minutes and hours

The naming of days

Caroline said her drеam never ends

For Carolinе's monkey

And Caroline's friends

[Refrain]

Fading's better than failing

Falling's better than feeling

Folding's better than losing

Fixing's better than healing

Sometimes

[Verse 4]

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

[Verse 5]

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

[Verse 6]

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

[Outro]

Fading's better than failing

Falling's better than feeling

Folding's better than losing

Fixing's better than healing

Sometimes
