lyrics

It’s a miracle getting in and out of bed.
It’s harder than you’d expect,
when those sounds from outside won’t go away.
You’ve heard you should work harder.
You’ve heard you should lay back.
Sometimes those words come from the same face.

It’s confusing, first of all, and it’s tiring.
But not tiring enough to weigh your eyelids down,
you have to keep your eyes out for those things with the fangs and the howls and the claws and the growls, oh…

And isn’t it amazing how many strange things pop in your head, in bed?
It’s hard to sleep like this.
Thinking of all these strange things when you should rest.
It’s hard to sleep like this, when there’s Monsters Nearby.

I’m dead tired,
I’m dead tired,
I’m dead tired, but there’s monsters nearby.

From the sounds of all this,
I bet you’ve done more than hide.
though you may have gotten bit,
well at least you haven’t died.
And “why don’t you bite back”
is some fucked up advice
because the metaphor really can’t work that way.

But the venom in your veins speaks volumes
about how much of an escape you could use.
And you know if you don’t run, they’re gonna catch you.
But sometimes you just want a break.

Out there’s a scary place, you just assume,
but you feel them around when you leave your room.
Try to second guess all you’ve fallen for.
Take a step into the dark.
They might want a show,
so let the fears go,
and let them all know
what your dreams are made of.
