Its not that I'm scared of the dark

My teeth are falling out
And I'm rotting in this make believe dream

There's a monster under my bed,
Some time he comes out
And we talk for a while
He tells me about the stars
And I tell him of your smile

Some nights
I forget how to sleep
The cold water in my head turns to blood and shark teeth

Soon the creepy crawlies
Will crawl out my mouth
Leaving just the vipers to the bottom
Of my lungs

Darling I just want to be your favorite song

Call me baby boy,
run your fingers through my heart,
And hold me just a little closer on the nights I forget my name

You can teach m how to sleep with my eyes closed
And I can teach you how to dream with your eyes wide open

Im a mess of a lover
    A monster of a man
But I can promise I'm trying
