Monkey Wrench

The Colour And The Shape

"This is a song about realising that you are the source of all of the problems in a relationship and you love the other person so much, you want to free them of the problem, which is actually yourself."

Lyrics

What have we done with innocence?
It disappeared with time
It never made much sense
Adolescent resident
Wasting another night on planning my revenge

One in ten

Don't want to be your monkey wrench
One more indecent accident
I'd rather leave than suffer this
I'll never be your monkey wrench

All this time to make amends
What do you do when all your enemies are friends
Now and then I'll try to bend
Under pressure wind up snapping in the end

One in ten

One last thing before I quit
I never wanted any more than I could fit into my head
I still remember every single word you said
And the shit that somehow came along with it
There's still one thing that comforts me
Since I was always caged and now I'm free

Don't want to be your monkey wrench
(fall in fall out)
