I killed my first monster when I was seven years old
He melted like butter in my bathroom 60 watt bowl
Kept a 3-cell mag light from daddy's workshop drawer
Under my pillow and I'd pull it like a sword
Anymore when a restless feeling keeps me up at night
I fall in on my knees as my nude turning on the light
I keep my faith intact and make sure my prayers are said
Cause I've learned that the monsters ain't the ones beneath the bed
The wolf hunts a hungry man and the devil a lonely heart
A mind filled with bad decisions,
they're hiding in the dark
Greed,
snark,
sickness,
tears,
and pride lays in a wicked trap
You can't avoid them all, no,
you gotta trust me on that
Anymore when a restless feeling keeps me up at night
I fall in on my knees as my nude turning on the light
I keep my faith intact and make sure my prayers are said
Cause I've learned that the monsters ain't the ones beneath the bed
Daddy
check my closet and leave on the bathroom light
Smile and say all clear when I took him in for the night
But daddy I'm still scared,
can I sleep with you instead?
I kneel down beside my little man
and I bow my head
Anymore when a restless feeling keeps me up at night
I fall in on my knees as my nude turning on the light
I keep my faith intact
and make sure my prayers are said
Cause I've learned that the monsters ain't the ones beneath the bed
I've learned that the monsters ain't underneath the bed
