The Monsters Under My Bed lyrics

[Verse 1]
"It's all in your head," he tries to say
Close your eyes and they go away
So he locked me in as the night begins
I see the teeth behind the smile
Metal ghouls haunt this broken child
They followed him home and I'm not alone

[Build]
Don't steal the breath from me tonight
I'm hiding with no means to fight
There's someone in the hall, I can't escape them all
I saw who killed these twisted souls
They only haunt the child who knows
Or are they in my head
The monsters under my bed?

[Drop]

[Verse 2]
"It's just a phase," they call my fear
No one can see the evil here
A monster killed and his victims rose
I think they want to make me pay
For the life that he took away
I'm not to blame, still, they play this game
[Build]
Don't steal the breath from me tonight
I'm hiding with no means to fight
There's someone in the hall, I can't escape them all
I saw who killed these twisted souls
They only haunt the child who knows
Or are they in my head
The monsters under my bed?

[Drop]

[Refrain]
I haven't felt like this before
Nothing seems real anymore
Are they the echoes of his scheme
Or is my mind just losing steam?

[Bridge]
I'm so afraid of this feral masquerade
Take me, take me, let it end

[Instrumental Break]

[Build]
Don't steal the breath from me tonight
I'm hiding with no means to fight
There's someone in the hall, I can't escape them all
I saw who killed these twisted souls
They only haunt the child who knows
Or are they in my head
The monsters under my bed?
[Drop]
