Dom Giddy
Not Alone
A traveller of distance I am
From over there to here
Somehow along the way a monkey on my back appeared
Grinning, yet so insincere
Tapping at my skull
Pinching at my skin
Scratching at my face
Whispering just let me in
Thirsting on my tears
Feasting on my pain
Monkey see monkey do
This monkey knows my name
Wrapped tightly around my shoulders
Like a once in a lifetime deal
Only this one I never signed up for
This one's so incredibly surreal
Trying to grab a piece of me
With every waking minute
Incessantly hanging on and on
Determined to push me to my limit
Sees the toil, speaks the trouble
Scream is pure primeval
Swings from my emotions without a care
Monkey messes with my brain it's practically medieval
One aspect stupid monkey didn't count on
Stupid monkey didn't think of
This dude ain't going nowhere fast
This dude is carrying on
He thought he had me every day
Leathery fingers under skin and bone
Wide eyed he suddenly realises
I have you, I'm not Alone
