the sun rose on the understay with a click of a switch the sub canopy roared when the business sign read open in neon lights climbing vines up desk stools pygmies and bats timecards and paychecks the apes howl when you push the buttons in their stomachs hands play cymbals after a wind of a gear the beetles and the birds are all pollinating flowers grown in the gardens of mansions i am the primate that swings from the man made apparatus i am the vines that grow underneath florescent lights from carpeted floors i am the primate that swings from the man made apparatus i am the vines that grow underneath florescent lights from carpeted floors let me climb these painted walls and flourish in this man made habitat electronic talking parrots eating toothpicks as a mating ritual the beast prays on its employees and eats on their summer s harvested fruits the lion sleeps when its antelope go home i am he primate that swings from the man made apparatus i am the vines that grow underneath florescent lights from carpeted floors i am he primate that swings from the man made apparatus i am the vines that grow underneath florescent lights from carpeted floors i am he primate that swings from the man made apparatus i am the vines that grow underneath florescent lights from carpeted floors i am he primate that swings from the man made apparatus i am the vines that grow underneath florescent lights from carpeted floors give me the sun before the night give me my wrong i forfeit the right give me the sun before the night give me my wrong i forfeit the right give me my kill and pay me well give me my pay so i will pay my bills give me my kill and pay me well give me my pay so i will pay my bills hear this my life has become dry because of you insomnia paranoia anxiety dependence relentless worthlessness you stole all my love you stole all my love you stole all my love and i want it back we are animals swinging too far towards distant vines
