Monkey Feathers - John Barry

There's a rose that blooms through the cracks in the concrete Staining the prison floor There's a pilgrimage waiting sat at the doorstep Rotting beneath the sun When there's nowhere left to hide, we'll be searching for a shortcut Ire and denial are as thick as thieves Soon there'll be nothing left of me, nothing left of me Don't forget to breathe, don't forget to breathe, don't forget to breathe Tell me how to coexist when a fraction only wants war Hopelessly in love with our gritted teeth Soon there'll be nothing left of me, nothing left of me Don't forget to breathe, I forgot to breathe, and look who's on the throne now A dead heretic with no storm left to weather Afraid to admit, it won't sustain the spirit A new counterfeit like flight without feathers Ready to submit, it won't sustain the spirit It won't sustain the spirit So we fall to our knees and beg for reprieve But it's almost time for the curtain call The apostles will sing and lead us from sin But they hold all of our bones in their hands We all swim against the tide until it puts us on the back foot Nothing's ever tasted half as good as grief Soon there'll be nothing left of me, nothing left of me Don't forget to breathe, don't forget to breathe, don't forget to breathe 'Cause I'm staring at a fist, and it's asking if I want more Clarity will visit, but it's only brief Soon there'll be nothing left of me, nothing left of me Don't forget to breathe, don't forget to breathe, don't forget to breathe A dead heretic with no storm left to weather Afraid to admit, it won't sustain the spirit A new counterfeit like flight without feathers Ready to submit, it won't sustain the spirit It won't sustain the spirit It won't sustain the spirit It won't sustain the spirit It won't sustain the spirit

It's dark and the distance is far I can't hear your thoughts It's been haunting me I heard it's been hard and your heart is tight up in knots Once in a while I'm glad just to hear your voice It tell me it's ok, had pride to get stolen You worry what they might say Well now it's the time to leave it behind and let go, let go, let go. These feathers eye us for risin above, just let go, let go, let go. You doubt that the past can be buried or left behind. You carry all within, New days lie ahead full of things that have never been. But it struck like a lightning and you never read the signs. It's been haunting you. You live fast and up loud in a meant for long lost times. But now it's the time to leave it behind and let go, let go, let go. These feathers eye us for risin above, just let go, let go, let go. Now is the time for travel in light, just let go, let go, let go. These feathers eye us, Spread wings and take flight, just let go, let go, let go. Let go, let go. Have faith in the fact that they to read what they have sown. One day you will find that there is freedom in your soul.
