Out of the Shadows

Ssshh
Follow me into the dream world

My name is Twyla, a sweet boogeymonster
That lives in your dreams
In the library, that's where you'll find me
Reading history

Ooh, I'm not ready to grow up
I just wanna daydream everyday
Ooh, get lost in the shadows
Yeah, that's where you'll find me

I'm a boogeymonster that lives in your dreams
Inside your nightmares, that's where I'll be
I've been hiding in the dark
But now I'm finally stepping out of the shadows
Of the shadows

I move from the dream world straight into the real world
Glowing eyes in the dark
What used to scare me now gives me power
And sets me apart (ah)

I'm a boogeymonster that lives in your dreams
Inside your nightmares, that's where I'll be
I've been hiding in the dark
But now I'm finally stepping out of the shadows
Of the shadows

A little shy, I'm a little bit sweet
And I can read even when I'm asleep
Yeah, I been hiding in the dark
But now I'm finally stepping out of the shadows
Of the shadows

I've got stories of monsters that live in my head (in my head)
People and places I'll never forget (I'll never forget)
The shadows are dancing, they creep up the walls (creep up the walls)
But that don't define me at all

Counting dust bunnies underneath my bed (underneath my bed)
I faced all my fears and turned them into friends (hey, Dustin)
Now I'm ready to grow up and see what comes next
I'm ready

I'm a boogeymonster that lives in your dreams
Inside your nightmares, that's where I'll be
I've been hiding in the dark
But now I'm finally stepping out of the shadows
Of the shadows

A little shy, I'm a little bit sweet
And I can read even when I'm asleep
Yeah, I been hiding in the dark
But now I'm finally stepping out of the shadows
Of the shadows
Out of the shadows
