Nobody knows that every night I cry
Staying awake and wanting to sleep
I can’t sleep though because of the monsters under my bed
They sleep there waiting to feed on my fears and worries
I never seem to get rid of them nagging at my feet
I tried but I don’t know
What do I need to to to get them off my back
Sing there ranting lullaby that screeching in my ears
I cover up and the truth from all that come near
I show my best smile and they don't even know
The monsters are eating me up
Killing that  sweet little girl they first found
Now I am a black hole that swallows all in sight
Eating all the happy for my beast inside
Happy and sad have different tastes you see
For my beast loves the happy
The monsters feed on fear
For all the pure emotions couldn’t save
The devil I face each day.
