I'm too scared to fall asleep Never know what dreams I'll make Will it be too much for me Like it is when I'm awake There's a monster in my mind He needs somewhere safe to breathe So do I And even late at night I hold hands with him sometimes When I need a friend He's there by my side The monster in my mind La-la-la-la La-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la The monster in my mind La-la-la-la La-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la The monster in my mind All the wasted therapy All the walls are closing in I could tell you where I've been But you won't believe me when I say There's a monster in my mind He needs somewhere safe to breathe So do I And even late at night I hold hands with him sometimes When I need a friend He's there by my side The monster in my mind La-la-la-la La-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la The monster in my mind La-la-la-la La-la-la-la La-la-la-la-la The monster in my mind There's a monster in my mind He needs somewhere safe to breathe So do I And even late at night I hold hands with him sometimes When I need a friend He's there by my side The monster in my mind
