Carolines 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 dreams never end For Caroline’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 [Refrain] Fading’s better than failing Falling’s better than feeling Folding’s better than losing Fixing’s better than healing Sometimes
