Chaos Monkeys from Unraveling by Crush Limbo

Ego is a monkey
living in the jungle
swinging from one
crisis to the next

Tethered to desire,
Hooked on its reflection
Blowin’ up group chats
with ALL CAPS texts


Can you lead with love
Without feeding the beast?
Can you govern the wild
Without chains or a leash?


Chaos monkeys
Drama queens
Grievance junkies
Grifter’s schemes

Two-bit flunkies
Axes to grind
But the slack-jawed boors
Don’t seem to mind


Stack your gold to the ceiling
Watch it crash to the floor
Sharpen knives to the hilt
Then they cut no more

Throw your tantrums for the masses
Attention's such a fleeting high
The louder you shout, the clearer it is—
You’re terrified inside

Can you take a step back
Without grabbing for more?
Can you leave the feast
Before you gorge?

Chaos monkeys
Debunked has been
Throw your feces
At the 'Murican dream

Two-bit flunkies
Axes to grind
The slack-jawed boors
Don’t seem to mind
