Monsters
“Simmer down”Says the angel on your shoulder“Louder now”Says the fire at your neckBut I know you much betterYou wouldn’t play without flameWatch it burn, watch it flickerUntil its something that you can tameHear the ghostsAs they assemble in the eveningWhisperingYes, they’re calling out your nameWell, if you aren’t such a cowardGet up from under your bedAnd tell me what it is you’re afterThat’s when you looked up at me and said“Well, I’m just a monsterHiding from sight until someone comes my wayI’m just a monsterNo one will stay ‘cause I scare them all awayI’m just a lonely, leery, weary soulWho’s longing for a heartNo, you’re no monsterYou’re still afraid of the dark”Letras de canciones“Tell me nowWhat’s the spell that I’ve been underHelp me out”You ask with hunger in your eyes“For if love is the answerI was damned from the startWho could this disasterI’m just a body — no beating heart”“’Cause I’m just a monsterHiding from sight until someone comes my wayI’m just a monsterNo one will stay, ‘cause I scare them all away”“I’m just a monsterHiding from sight until someone comes my wayI’m just a monsterNo one will stay ‘cause I scare them all awayI’m just a lonely, leery, weary soulWho’s longing for a heartNo, you’re no monsterYou’re still afraid of the dark”“You’re still afraid of the dark”“Afraid of the dark”“Afraid of the dark”
