Haunt Me

They say the monsters they hide under the bed
But I swear they live inside your head
Their friends with the demons in their too
If only I knew what to do

They haunt me
I think people can see them swirling around
They don't scare me
I've learned to live with them, feeling safe and sound

They say the monsters
They sleep under your bed
It's all a lie
They live in your head

They are friends with the demons
The demons that bring you pain
They curse and they swear their not there
They live, they thrive, do whatever they please

Don't haunt me
I said don't haunt me no more
I can't deal with the pain
They all rattle, they all scream in my brain

I've tried seeking help
Tried calling out
I've been drowning in my thoughts
I put in all the effort I got

It burns and it stings
Feels like a bullet to the brain
I tried everything
But it's their home in my head

The monsters they don't sleep under the bed
They live in your head
Are friends with the demons
Just cause the pain

They haunt me
They lie
They are just like secrets
They burn like the lies that I tell

I can't because they haunt me
I have to cover what I said
I can't deal with them
I just want to be dead

They hold me back
People say they know what I'm keeping
Nobody knows what I'm keeping inside
If they did it would be catastrophic

They feed on the lies I tell
On the secrets that I keep
They feed on it all
And haunt me
