Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Verse 3]

Caroline feels the ice in her veins

The minutes and hours, the naming of days

Caroline said her dream never ends

For Caroline's monkey and Caroline's friends

[Verse 4]

Fading's better than failing

Falling's better than feeling

Folding's better than losing

Fixing's better than healing

Sometimes

[Verse 5]

Caroline's monkey claws at her back

Colder than winter, darker than black

Caroline's monkey is hungry again

Running with scissors on needles and pins

[Verse 6]

Caroline's monkey lives where she lays

Sleeps like a thief and steals through the days

Caroline's monkey makes up all the fun

Leaves chaos and ruin on Caroline's tongue

[Verse 7]

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

[Verse 8]

Fading's better than failing

Falling's better than feeling

Folding's better than losing

Fixing's better than healing

Sometimes
