lyrics

There’s a monkey scratching at my door
I swear to god he is screaming let me in
And you know I got what you are looking for
And I can keep it scratching up your skin

When life gets complicated and it freaks me out
I keep it elevated so you can’t come down tonight

And there is a monkey climbing up my back
Whisper in my ear screaming he’s the one
And now you knows its like a heart attack
His itchy trigger finger on the gun

When life gets complicated and it freaks me out
I keep it elevated so you can’t come down tonight

And you can keep scratching at my door
And you can keep climbing up my skin
And you can keep trying to animate me
And draw me out over again
And you can keep saying that I’m crazy
Judging by the state I’m in

And now the monkey is bouncing off my walls
I swear to god he’s screaming he’s the king
He’s on the ledge feeding me alcohol
And telling me I can’t do anything

When life gets complicated and it freaks me out
I’m getting kind of faded but I don’t fall down tonight

Sanity
Take me as I am
Humanity
I need you I need you
Sanity

And you can keep scratching at my door
And you can keep clawing at my skin
And you can keep trying to animate me
And draw me out over again
And you can keep climbing up my back
And you can keep bouncing off my walls
And you can keep trying to animate me
And dose me up with alcohol
And you can keep messing with my days
And you can keep fucking with my mind
And you can keep trying
And your trying
And your trying to live a lonely life
