Monkey On My Back

Back to the surface, yeah I'm bubbling up.

Did you miss me? Even longed for the day?

I'm that scab that never heals, even in a bath full of eels.

I'm that electric bill you haven't paid.

[NOTICE: PAYMENT DUE]

Bout to F *** up and make a brand new day.

Bout to rip this life's a$$ anew.

I'm a monkey on my own back, whispers in my ear.

You're the worst. You're the worst. You're the worst.

My dear this is just the beginning, you have no idea.

The phoenix is rising on the day of the eclipse.

Sweet little kisses from apocalypses, taste the lips?

I'm split and torn, you gotta die to be reborn.

You gotta cry a little to feel the warmth of hot tears.

know where you stand on deaths door.

How will you take the bull by the horns?

Stop living life in fear, you're the one in control.

Yet, the monkey whispers.

You're the worst. You're the worst. You're the worst.
