Monsters in the Dark (feat. Johnathan Russell)

I put my mattress on the floor Removed the closet door Exposed each place a skeleton could hide I looked for ghosts up in the attic For signal in the static Took a flashlight to the Greasy underside I sold Everything I could Burned some more for firewood Left the Rest on the street for trash to take away There's a square left on the wall, Where the sunlight used to fall On the picture of you at sunset every day So I've painted every room Swept each corner with a broom I've scrubbed away every scratch and mark And when the light brings on the gloom I keep a light on in every room But when I close my eye There are monsters in the dark There were boxes in the cellar Dating back to Rockefeller Full of broken schemes I intended to repair There were stains left on the floor Two long scratched on the door It took a year to clear the Sulphur from the air The echo bounces of the wall From my footsteps in the hall It's the sound of owning nothing left to say I finally cleared it all Ran the final uninstall And sunlight floods these empty rooms all day At last it's all been cleared There is nothing here to fear I've scrubbed away every scratch and mark But when the night brings on the gloom I keep a light on in every room, When I close my eyes There are monsters in the dark
