Noose on Your Neck

You got an annoying monkey on your back
There is a loose noose around your neck
Your crew is around you, about to attack
You're on the plank running from the deck

Your spirit feels no lighter
With the wee one on your back
The rope is getting tighter
From the control you must lack

Mutiny is the order of the day
You must have forgotten how to balance
If you fall you are washed away
In a sad sea of a chemical romance

How sweet it would have been
How bitter is the truth you see
That you fail, time and time again
In the shadow of what could be

Your ship, it has set sail
Your song, it has been sung
The monkey swings its tail
Sure that you will be hung

Was I not your first mate?
The second, or maybe the third?
All the problems we create
When a misunderstanding has occurred

You gave me fifty lashes
I pray my back will heel
When you rise from your ashes
You'll know how my pain must feel

You will be scorned for your deed
To atone for your mistake
Mercy is what you will need
You must give back what you take

With a loose noose rapped around your neck
A mad monkey on your back
Peering at my eyes, search for the speck
Your cold heart is bound to crack
