@castratibrothers: thanks for the feedback. I tend not to notice if my vocals are too low in the mix (unless it's super obvious) so it helps to have a fresh set of ears point such things out. And I'm glad to hear you liked the lyrics -- I encourage you to check out the original version by The Verve Pipe because their version is far superior to mine!
@fallingupart: Ahh, I need to enunciate better. The last verse is supposed to go "But the fire came to rest/In your white velvet breast/So I somehow know/That it's safe."
Also, the other verse you mention goes "I forgot all my songs/The words now are wrong." Thanks for lending another ear so I can clarify the words better.
@VishnuExpress (BabaPrince Joseph): I didn't write this particular song, but when I sing it I am thinking of the concept of "Monkey Mind" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind_monkey in addition to the concept of "Getting the Monkey Off Your Back." No literal monkeys were harmed in the making of this song. ;)

Enjoyed this but would have liked the vocal up in the mix a bit. Good lyrics

Raw and honest. Cool!
Great vocals - cool grittiness and vibrato.
Raw!!!! I like it...
Cool vibe.
This reminds me of a Belle and Sebastian tune. I've found myself wanting to listen to it twice.
@peppermintsky Your tone is one of the best on this site, so your words of encouragement are definitely a confidence booster! Thank you!
