Lyrics

Staring through a prism
Into a prison made of lies
Peering from that misty window
Seems they’re judging me

Caught up in the moment
I feel eyes starring back at me
This self-truth they call wisdom
Yet it lacks in gravity

Quick to throw their judgment
Then disappear. the void
Protected in their safe space
Like monkeys in a jar

Preying on their victims
Feeding them each day
Bright light on the surface
Monkeys are now blind to what I see

Caught up in the moment
I feel eyes starring back at me
This self-truth they call wisdom
Yet it lacks in gravity

Quick to throw their judgment
Then disappear into the void
Collective in their safe space
Like monkeys in a jar

Basking in the glory
Of cloudy mutterings
The sounds come from the surface
Of a prison made for you and me

Monkeys in a Jar
