monsters

When I was younger I slept on the floor all the time 
It wasn't more comfortable than my bed but at least I felt safe that way 
When I was younger I slept on the floor all the time 
I figured that way if the monsters crept out I would see them 

But I guess over the years things changed 
And the monsters I was ever so scared of 
Found their way out from under my bed 
And crept straight into my head 

And now I feel them crawling 
And now I hear them scream 
They’re deep inside my body 
And they're becoming me 

And now I feel them crawling 
And now I hear them scream 
They’re deep inside my body 
And they're becoming me 

When I was younger I'd run and I'd scream and I'd hide 
Scared that the monsters would catch me and eat me alive 
When I was younger I'd laugh and I'd joke and I'd smile 
But now there's no one here to turn on the light and scare them away 

But I guess over the years things changed 
And the monsters I was ever so scared of 
Found their way out from under my bed 
And crept straight into my head 

And now I feel them crawling 
And now I hear them scream 
They’re deep inside my body 
And they're becoming me 

And now I feel them crawling 
And now I hear them scream 
They’re deep inside my body 
And they're becoming me 

My body is a cage 
Holding me captive 
And I'm buried so deep 
That my screams sound like whispers 

My body is a cage 
Holding me captive 
And I'm buried so deep 
That my screams sound like whispers 

And I'm screaming 
I'm screaming 
My throat is ripped to pieces 
Can you hear me calling from down here? 

I need your help 
I need your hand 
I need someone to pull me out of the dark 
I've been down here for so long 
My eyes have adjusted and I can see clearly now 
I've been down here 
For so long that it's become like a home to me 

And now I feel them crawling 
And now I hear them scream 
They're deep inside my body 
And they're becoming me 

And now I feel them crawling 
And now I hear them scream 
They're deep inside my body 
And they're becoming me
