Monster I Know Lyrics

Realizing I'm more like the person

That I swore I'd never be

She's got me screaming and crying

And begging on my knees for mercy, please

For a moment set me free

I can hear when they're coming

So I try to run and hide

But they know all my secrets

I try to bury out of sight

Just let me be, for a moment set me free

Oh, the monsters come at

Half past midnight

Oh, they don't care that it's past my bedtime

I put them in a cage, but they locked me up inside

And threw away the keys

This isn't how I used to be

I feel the storm when it's brewing

I try to keep it all inside

But they tore off the curtains

Everything I hide behind

The wind it screams

But no one seems to hear a thing

Oh, the monsters come at

Half past midnight

Oh, they don't care that it's past my bedtime

I put them in a cage, but they locked me up inside

And threw away the keys

This isn't how I used to be

OH! What happened to me?! What happened to me

I kick, I scream, they sink their teeth

They know where I'm weak, they know where I bleed

And they'll hunt me down till I'm six feet deep

But I know who they are

And it hits me twice as hard

Cause I can't deny, the monsters inside of me

Oh, the monster is me

I can't hide from me

Mamma what happened to me

What happened to me

Now the monsters are out

Past midnight

And it really is, past my bedtime

They keep me up awake

Their roars echo through my mind

Please mercy me and for a moment

Set me free

Ahh

Ahh

Ahh

Ahh

Ahh
