Red Eyed Monster Lyrics

There's a girl I know hiding deep within the shrubs

Speaking with demons that can't be spoken of

On the surface, she's a sister, she's a friend, she's a daughter

But you don't wanna see her as the red eyed monster

She won't bite, she won't claw, she's no danger to you

But why do her eyes glow red, oh, if we only knew

She lays there daydreaming of her own slaughter

Shield your eyes and don't look at the red eyed monster

Oh-oh, she's as fragile as a vase

Oh-oh, look at the way she hides her face

She cracks a smile and we think we may have lost her

But in time she'll return to the red eyed monster

You'll wish you were dead if you climb inside her mind

Wherever she crawls, trauma follows close behind

Don't let her in your home, she's too wild to be fostered

Please don't look in the face of the red eyed monster

(Don't look in the face of the red eyed monster)

Her thoughts swirl like a cyclone in the rural Midwest

Glass flies, making damage, and we can't undo the mess

She wants to be saved, but seems everyone forgot her

Engulfed in her own tornado is this red eyed monster

You can approach her, she won't bring you harm

But if you keep her, you'll be holding chaos in your arms

So she hides away, no matter what it costs her

Take my advice and don't look at the red eyed monster

Oh-oh, she's as fragile as a vase

Oh-oh, look at the way she hides her face

She cracks a smile and we think we may have lost her

But in time she'll return to the red eyed monster

You'll wish you were dead if you climb inside her mind

Wherever she crawls, trauma follows close behind

Don't let her in your home, she's too wild to be fostered

Please don't look in the face of the red eyed monster

Natural disaster strikes the moment she's born

On the ground, face down, tryna shelter from the storm

Natural disaster strikes the moment she's born

On the ground, face down, tryna shelter from the storm

Natural disaster strikes the moment she's born

On the ground, face down, tryna shelter from the storm

Oh-oh

You'll wish you were dead if you climb inside her mind

Wherever she crawls, trauma follows close behind

Don't let her in your home, she's too wild to be fostered

Please don't look in the face of the red eyed monster

Oh-oh, she's as fragile as a vase (natural disaster strikes the moment she's born)

Oh-oh, look at the way she hides her face (on the ground, face down, tryna shelter from the storm)

Don't let her in your home, she's too wild to be fostered

Please don't look in the face of the red eyed monster

Natural disaster strikes the moment she's born

On the ground, face down, tryna shelter from the storm

You think she's been saved, yeah you think that you've caught her

But nothing good can stay with the red eyed monster
