lyrics

What are words worth when no one's there?
Is there any sense in speaking up when no one's gonna hear?
You should've known by now I was only made to break
I'm not a work of art and there's no cracking this stone cold heart

But maybe someday I'll be more than just a monkey man
I'll be more than a machine
You won't be hoping praying wishing no more
No more
And you'll find what you're looking for
And that's not me anymore

While I'm taking all you give
When it's time for me to pay I just play the part
Automatic is not how I say I feel everyday
But just going through the motions seems to be the only way

For now you may be fine
But you know deep down you wish you could rewind
But maybe that's enough to make me see
That part of me wants to believe

That maybe someday I'll be more than just a monkey man
I'll be more than a machine
You won't be hoping praying wishing no more
No more
And you'll find what you're looking for
And that'll be me... the monkey man machine

about

Harrison's Van Phoenix, Arizona

Writing music and examining life in our strange and beautiful world.
All music is free. Mostly soft acoustic music with all kinds of influences. I record what I can with a mic, acoustic guitar, random "instruments" I can get my hands on, and, of course, garageband effects :)
Also check out my former band from college, Northern Heights, linked here: northernheightsmusic.bandcamp.com ... more
