Lyrics
Caroline's Monkey
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
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
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
Fading's better than failing
Falling's better than feeling
Folding's better than losing
Fixing's better than healing
Sometimes
Caroline's monkey claws at her back
Colder than winter
Darker than black
Caroline's monkey is hungry again
Running with scissors
Through needles and pins
Caroline's monkey lives where she lays
Sleeps like a thief
And steals through the days
Caroline's monkey makes up all of the fun
Leaves chaos and ruin
On Caroline's tongue
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
Fading's better than failing
Falling's better than feeling
Folding's better than losing
Fixing's better than healing
Sometimes
