Dark of Night

Monsters under my bed Mommy always said be careful of them Nightmares in my head Of the bed bugs crawling over my tears I grew up thinking fictional monsters were real But the man down the street is far more scary I was told honey always be nice to everyone Oh how naive I was to listen to them I see things in the dark of night On my walls I can see the marks The night light made me see a shadow on the ceiling It looked at me I see things in the dark of night On my walls I can see the marks The night light made me see a shadow on the ceiling It looks like us Mom warned me Bout creepy crawlies That follow you in your dreams But not bout the ones down the street Mom warned me Bout furry, ugly things Monsters, like in movies But not bout the ones right next to me Eyes feared in the dark But in the light happens monstrosities Hole in the garden of the neighbour's lawn I really wanna know what they are hiding I grew up fearing darkness and big hairy giants Now I know what's worth really fearing All the nights I laid awake and checked all my closets Oh how naive I was to think they looked different Run away Don't be afraid The monsters are closer than you think Keep an eye Open at night You never know who is right here Run away Don't be afraid The monsters are closer than you think Keep an eye Open at night You never know who is right here I see things in the dark of night On my walls I can see the marks The night light made me see a shadow on the ceiling It looked at me I see things in the dark of night On my walls I can see the marks The night light made me see a shadow on the ceiling It looks like us Mom warned me Bout creepy crawlies That follow you in your dreams But not bout the ones down the street Mom warned me Bout furry, ugly things Monsters, like in movies But not bout the ones right next to me Mom warned me Bout creepy crawlies That follow you in your dreams But not bout the ones down the street Mom warned me Bout furry, ugly things Monsters, like in movies But not bout the ones right next to me
