lyrics

Paper Monkeys

So your vision is still weary from constantly passing the bars
The polaroids are fading, eyes dying distant stars
Like a dance of force around a center pictures bloom and fade
Into your heart and soul you’re a panther in a cage

You can’t go now you have to go later
Confronting monkeys made of paper
And you begin to shake with rage
You can’t go now you have to go later
When iron bars become shattered glass
For the panther in his cage

Like a nightmare from the past the memories they last
With your now and soon in the passing of the bars
Like a dance of force around a center pictures bloom and fade
Into your heart and soul you’re a panther in a cage

You can’t go now you have to go later
Confronting monkeys made of paper
And you begin to shake with rage
You can’t go now you have to go later
When iron bars become shattered glass
For the panther in his cage
