ManApes Work in the Spiritual Undertones of Psychodelic Melody

In a scarlet velvet room I meet you
The dust from outside world is gone
The beads of water on the window fall
I can’t feel the bed I’m laying on

It’s a dream that you found yourself
A lie you tell yourself in the mirror
A joke like all the small talking heads
A world of posturing pride and posers

You’re trying so hard to be relevant
On the cold wide lake of deceit
You arrive and to find your crutches
Reading the lines they all repeat

You’re alone and I’m here for closure
If only you were broken and aware
But you’re pointing your finger at everyone
It’s all, their fault that they don’t care

I lay your silk robe across the chair
And light a small fire in the cold room
You sip your wine to keep yourself safe
But it’s a tomb living in a vacuum

The Scarlet Velvet Room still glowing
In the deepening evening of thought
Your alluring river of desire flowing
But your mind you’ve left out to rot.

Absinthe
I lay my fingers along your cheek
So close I can feel you breathe
In your mind a Princess a queen
In mine perfection a dream

The tall valleys and long shores below
Drunken forests in snow
So cold and lovely eyes
I see my punishment inside

I let the gun fall from my hand
I turn and resign myself
The wind is cold and lifeless
As I looked out across the great ocean

Your souls deep takes me inside out
I feel it I the low laying clouds
I can’t escape from this growing old
Its grasp unpleasantly cold

I see the future so vast and deep
I see them alone and I pity them
Through you I could see the light
Now she’s free and I’ll start again

I dreamed and dreamed but I was empty
So deep and cold rolls out into another world

Sweet and Sour

Oh you’re such a perfect love
A wonderful mystery
So dark and so new
Who are you running to?
You’re broken
It’s who you are
Now you can’t trust anyone
My little diamond
I feel the rubble
Crumbling as I walk
I Feel the power
Every time we talk
Little rich girl
All grown up
She’s going to tear you apart
She’s my little shark
She tells me he’s bluffing
His pride his reveal
He thinks she’s imitating
But I know she’s real
My Talents are obsolete
With a gun in my hand
And daddies demon complete
The world deals in fear
And for the most part it wins
Power is what money appears
They all just want money
I only worshipped power
What do you think honey
