"Simmer down" Says the angel on your shoulder "Louder now" Says the fire at your neck But I know you much better You wouldn't play without flames Watch it burn, watch it flicker 'Till it's something that you can take Hear the ghosts As they a**emble in the evening Whispering Yes, they're calling out your name Well if you aren't such a coward Get up from under your bed And tell me what it is you're after That's when you looked up at me and said: “Well I'm just a monster Hiding from sighting ‘till someone comes my way I'm just a monster No one will stay ‘cause I scare them all away I'm just a lonely, leery, weary soul Who's longing for a heart” No, you're no monster You're still afraid of the dark
Tell me now What's the spell that I've been under? Help me out You ask with hunger in your eyes For the love is the answer (for the love is the answer) I was dead from the start Who could love this disaster? I'm just a body, no beating heart Cause I'm just a monster Hiding from sighting ‘till someone comes my way I'm just a monster No one will stay ‘cause I scare them all away "I'm just a monster Hiding from sighting ‘till someone comes my way I'm just a monster No one will stay ‘cause I scare them all away I'm just a lonely, leery, weary soul Who's longing for a heart” No, you're no monster You're still afraid of the dark You're still afraid of the dark Afraid of the dark Afraid of the dark
