Monster Songtext
von Synthi Ribell

Yeah, ooh, yeah
Hear that?

Used to search for monsters (monsters)
In the wrong places
Under floorboards (nothin′)
In the spaces
But they never showed (nah)
Their ghostly face (where you hidin'?)
Now I hear their call (ooh)
In the threads of my brain (my brain)

Brain, brain, brain
Ooh, ah

Oh, the games I′ve played (the games I played)
The stories I've spun (I spun 'em)
To keep the beasts (ho) from having fun (they wanna play)
But they′re curious beings (so) with a twirl and a grin (heh)
Dancin′ in the spaces where I've locked them in
(Locked in)


Oh no, you ready?
Let′s go

The monsters were never (never)
Under my bed (bed, oh)
Because the monsters, the monsters
Were inside my head (right here)
I fear no monsters (no fear)
For no monsters I see (I see 'em)
Because all this time (all this time)
The monster has been me, me, me, me

(Monster)
Yeah, it′s just me no one else
(Monster)
Ooh-yeah (monster)
I'm the one I was runnin′ from
(Monster) ooh-yeah


Tried to hide (I tried)
In plain sight (right there)
A fragile form (so fragile)
Yet soft and bright (shinin')
But the fractures gleamed (they gleamed)
With a newfound might (new power)
Revealing the ghosts (ghosts)
I left behind (bye-bye)

Ooh
You can't hide

Oh, the games I′ve played (played myself)
The stories I′ve spun (tell me another one)
The stories I've spun (tell me another one)
To keep the beasts (beasts) from having fun (they havin′ fun)
They're curious beings (what′s that sound?) with a twirl and a grin
Dancin' in the spaces where I′ve locked them in
(They out now)
Now

Ooh
Jump

The monsters were never (never)
Under my bed (not there)
Because the monsters, the monsters
Were inside my head (in my mind)
I fear no monsters (who's scared?)
For no monsters I see (look)
Because all this time (all this time)
The monster has been me, me (me) me (me)

(Monster)
Yeah, it's just me no one else
(Monster)
Ooh-yeah (monster)
I′m the one I was runnin′ from
(Monster) ooh-yeah

Actually they're not so bad (not so bad)
Just understood (you get?)
A little rough around the edges (little)
Mostly good (mostly)
We′ll talk and laugh (ha)
And spill our guts (spill it)
Two sides of the same (same)
Tangled nut (messy)

One side (that's good)
One side (same nut)
Let′s go

The monsters were never (never ever)
Under my bed (my bed, my bed)
Because the monsters (the monsters)
Were inside my head (right here in my mind)
(I fear no monsters, not scared)
For no monsters (I see)
(Because all this time) all this time, baby
The monster has been me (me, yeah) me (yeah)

(Monster)
The monster has been me (huh)
Okay
