The Monsters Under My Bed

"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 home, and I'm not alone

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

"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

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

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?
I'm so!...
Afraid!...
Of this feral masquerade
Take me!...
Take me!...
Let it end

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
