Spider Monkey

Be Specific When It's Time To Name The Want

This song was created using my lyrics with Suno

Lyrics:

it’s dusk right now

and i’m bleeding

my last remaining

excuse to you

paranoia can’t

stop me from hearing

something beyond

the “like” we use

and there’s a

bit of jealousy

that i swear i know

how to control

and i don’t think

we’ll ever be hungry

if we’re always

feeding each other’s soul

conversation drifts

from fun to serious

innocence is lost

in funny ways that hurt

but 18-hour days

and there’s still interest

and i keep coming back

to that same old word

pre-chorus

it never really sounds right

if it always means so much less

it’s not finding a missing piece

it’s wanting to know the edges

chorus

there’s a spider monkey in my mind

that swings from logic to a feeling

and i know i sound a little crazy

but i see what it’s revealing

everything they’ll write out

is already something i can’t unknow

there’s a bigger story here

and we can only foreshadow

post-chorus

don’t forget

be specific

2000 is a lot

don’t forget

be specific

when it’s time to

name the want

verse 2

i am almost certain

of everything and nothing

i really just want to laugh

because it’s dusk and i’m bleeding

and that really is making

so much sense to me

i think they’re all going mad by now

because they can’t see

i think they’re all trying to figure out

what this is and where this goes

just wait until they realize

only the author ever knows

but i see it in the way the

universe plays musical chairs

and in the stupid word i use

to try to say how much i care

pre-chorus

it never really sounds right

if it always means so much less

they’re all looking for their missing piece

while i am tracing all your edges

chorus

there’s a spider monkey in my mind

that swings from logic to a feeling

and i know i sound a little crazy

but i see what it’s revealing

everything they’ll write out

is already something i can’t unknow

there’s a bigger story here

i feel it in the foreshadow

post-chorus

don’t forget

be specific

2000 is a lot

don’t forget

be specific

when it’s time to

name the want
