Lyrics
There was a monster
It lived under my bed
I’m the only one who could see it
They said “it’s all in your head”
Now I’m grown, I’ve come of age
The monsters are now everywhere
Taking up all the space
I’m still afraid
Why don’t you all see what’s in front of my face?
There’s something in the water
But you can’t see it there
‘Cause the water’s dark
I can see
I can feel
I can fear
I know it’s real
It’s real to me, and it’s in the sea
It was real to me, it still is
(Instrumental interlude)
I’m alone, even in a crowded room
No one hears me scream, it’s like they’ve all pressed mute
On my life
Oh my heart
On my soul
They say “you’re way too old...”
“...to believe in monsters, under the bed”
But there are monsters everywhere
It’s not just in my head
There’s a monster down the street
Beating up his wife
There’s a monster in an office, in a house known as White
There are monsters in the alleyways
Monsters on the streets
Monsters looking back at us, preparing food we eat
There are monsters in you
So many monsters in me
The only difference is
I see them clearly
