It's okay ; you're alright
There are no monsters
You've just had a nightmare in the middle of the night

Open your eyes to the light
(turn the light on)

Try to ignore
The imaginary knocks on your door
Walk without fear
There's nothing crawling on the floor

It's useless to explore
Your nightmares can't hurt you
anymore than your mind does

Feed reality to yourself
Place your fantasies back on the shelf
Turn the voices down a little lower
And listen to the lies you tell yourself

There's no serial killer's blood in the air
So place your foot outside your doorstep
if you dare
You know deep down
there's nothing there

It's alright sweetie
You're just losing your mind
Yours was always the "fragile" kind
If you're still searching for answers
there's none to find

Feed reality to yourself
Place your fantasies back on the shelf
Turn the voices down a little lower
And listen to the lies you tell yourself
