1. MONKEY TRAP

Apes of greed treating self-inflicted grief
From low-hanging fruit we keep looking for relief
Veils of control leave us incomplete
The past forever serene, so why aren’t we?

Letting go not on my list
’cause nothing hurts like change
Apex mirage forcing my grip
In the monkey trap’s embrace

Cornered by our shadows we’re searching for loopholes
Imprisoned by short-sightedness that poisons our soul
In self-deception we bury our freedom
Compressing emotions till we’re unable to read them

Letting go not on my list
’cause nothing hurts like change
Apex mirage forcing my grip
In the monkey trap’s embrace
