Monsters Under Your Bed

The dawn of light, the vivid memories
A shadow of darkness for your mind to see
You see your reflection, the blood on your hands
Sobbing in despair, a forsaken peace

What you thought was the past is now your future
Every step you take seems to guide you further
When you close your eyes, you feel this crawling guilt
The fear of childhood nightmares within your sleep

Staying awake, just staring at the walls
Eyes are giving in, falling into your dream
As light disappears, something crawls on your skin
This chilling sensation of knives sinking in

As you're laying in your bed
You hear the voices of the dead
The visions in your head
Are the monsters under your bed

The frightening shrills, heart pounding inside your chest
Pushed against the wall, mirror smeared with your blood
The sound of scratching messes with your brain
Try to make it stop, there's no numbing the pain

As you're laying in your bed
You hear the voices of the dead
The visions in your head
Are the monsters under your bed
As you wait for light to shed
You fear the shadows of the dead
The whispers in your head
Are the monsters under your bed

Drowning into the night, lungs gasping for air
Inhaling burning ashes, like a knife to your throat
As your body collapses, think of all your sins
Cause your darkest torments are the monsters within
