what is going on inside
it's like a darkness always by my side
it's growing inside my head
no longer are the monsters under beds
monsters up from Hell at night
monsters under beds might be a fright
but are the monsters under bed
worse than the monsters in our heads
do they earn your trust
do they slowly become us
do they force your head down in shame
no they aren't the same
the monsters under beds
compared to the one in our heads
are like chores like taking out trash
to the 9/11 plane crash
the first is like a silly game
the last however scars your brain
so in the end
we have to bend
to the will of the monsters in our heads
wishing for the simplicity of those under bed.

you came to me looking for something
you came with nothing to pay
but I didn't mind, I gave you what I had
but I guess I just turned blue to grey

i said the wrong things
i said, 'No. Hey,'
but you didn't need no's or hey's
and I think I made it your last day

so I thought maybe
i could try to help the best I could
i told you everything would be okay
but it didn't work as it should

you left with me as a last thought
it's something I can't believe
i never wanted anyone's
last thought to be me

so now I'm leaving, just as you
i'm sorry I couldn't fucking do it
but now I'm done trying
because I fucking feel like shit.
