monster

Don’t want to turn off the light
hope someone hears me tonight.
I know there’s a snake in my bed
eating its way through my head

I want to be normal, I want to feel safe
waking up screaming, it’s always the same.
I don’t want to turn off the light
hope someone hears me tonight.

Hold me, tell me everything’s ok.
Show me there’s a way to beat the monster
save me, make it go away.

I’m trying to wash of the stains,
try not to think about the pain
I know I’ve got no place to hide,
God knows the times that I tried

I want to be normal, I want to feel safe
waking up screaming, it’s always the same.
I don’t want to turn off the light
hope someone hears me tonight.

Hold me, tell me everything’s ok.
Show me there’s a way to beat the monster
save me, make it go away.
