Monsters Under My Bed
These thoughts, I can't quite shut them off
It's like the switch is broken, just like me
Why can't I find a little peace and quiet?
Oh, my kingdom for some silence
It's been a busy day
"You should be tired", they say
But I'm so wide awake, overanalyzing the mistakes
And am I one? Well, who's to say
(Tic-toc, tic-toc, tic-toc, tic-toc)
Seconds passing and I'm wide awake
(Tic-toc, tic-toc, tic-toc, tic-toc)
Why can't I shut off my brain?
It's been three weeks and I still can't sleep in my bed
Blame it on all the voices in my head
Telling me that I'd be better off dead
Blame it on the monsters under my bed
Wine and whiskey make me feel fine and frisky
But with no one to please me, how can I be sleepy?
All I can think about are these infinite doubts
I'm an idiot, I'm full of shit and everybody knows it
Why is my existence such a crime?
I can't get my mind off my mind
I'm running in circles like it's a circus
But these animals are feeling nervous
(Tic-toc, tic-toc, tic-toc, tic-toc)
Seconds passing and I'm wide awake
(Tic-toc, tic-toc, tic-toc, tic-toc)
Why can't I shut off my brain?
It's been three weeks and I still can't sleep in my bed
Blame it on all the voices in my head
Telling me that I'd be better off dead
Blame it on the monsters under my bed
And I see, but I can't believe what I've read
Could it be that I might've been mislead?
Close my eyes, but I'm wide awake instead
Blame it on the monsters under my bed
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord, my soul to keep
And if I die before I wake
I pray the Lord, my soul to take
Am I just delirious?
Or is this something serious?
And I should see a doctor, but
I don't think they'd understand us
And I've got a confession
I've got a condition
And under these conditions I'm wishing I wasn't
Well, it's been three weeks and I still can't sleep in my bed
Blame it on all the voices in my head
Telling me that I'd be better off dead
Blame it on the monsters under my bed
And I see, but I can't believe what I've read
Could it be that I might've been mislead?
Close my eyes, but I'm wide awake instead
Blame it on the monsters under my bed
It's like the switch is broken, just like me
Why can't I find a little peace and quiet?
Oh, my kingdom for some silence
It's been a busy day
"You should be tired", they say
But I'm so wide awake, overanalyzing the mistakes
And am I one? Well, who's to say
(Tic-toc, tic-toc, tic-toc, tic-toc)
Seconds passing and I'm wide awake
(Tic-toc, tic-toc, tic-toc, tic-toc)
Why can't I shut off my brain?
It's been three weeks and I still can't sleep in my bed
Blame it on all the voices in my head
Telling me that I'd be better off dead
Blame it on the monsters under my bed
Wine and whiskey make me feel fine and frisky
But with no one to please me, how can I be sleepy?
All I can think about are these infinite doubts

Blame it on the monsters under my bed

Could it be that I might've been mislead?
Close my eyes, but I'm wide awake instead
Blame it on the monsters under my bed
