Monkey see, monkey do. A Texas Blues Rock, Slow Grind blues

Описание: A tragic reality of a toxic relationship where two people slowly destroy each other by mimicking their worst habits. A slow-burning blues track with a walking bassline. The mood is cynical and melancholic.

(Verse 1)
You came home Sunday morning, smelling like cheap perfume
Whistling a melody that didn't leave much room
For questions or for answers, or where you laid your head
So I found a stranger’s arms to warm up my side of the bed.
You taught me how to sneak around, you taught me how to lie
Now I look at you with nothing but a wandering eye.

(Chorus)
Monkey see, and monkey do
I learned the art of cheating, baby, straight from you.
You stepped out the back door? Well, I’m leaving out the front.
I’m just finishing the hunt that you began.
Yeah, monkey see, monkey do
I’m breaking my vows just to get back at you.

(Verse 2)
You changed your password, honey, you flipped your phone screen down
So I took my ring off when I went into town.
You said you were "working late," a story weak and thin
So I didn't come home ‘til the sun came creeping in.
It’s a dirty education, a lesson learned in sin
I’m losing my soul just trying to ensure I win.

(Bridge)
I remember when we promised "forever and a day"
Now we’re just two actors in a two-bit play.
I hate the man I’m holding, I hate the things I do
But the hate I feel for me, is the love I lost for you.

(Guitar Solo - Aggressive, stinging notes)

(Verse 3)
So don’t you dare look shocked, don't you dare look sad
I’m just the best reflection that you ever had.
You planted all these weeds, now you gotta watch ‘em grow
Welcome to the harvest, baby... enjoy the show.

(Chorus)
Monkey see, and monkey do
I learned the art of cheating, baby, straight from you.
You stopped loving me? Well, I stopped loving you too.
I’m just a reflection of the hell you put me through.
Yeah, monkey see, monkey do...
Now there’s a stranger in me, and he looks just like you.

(Outro)
Yeah, tit for tat...
This for that...
Heart for a heart...
Monkey see... monkey ruin...
