"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
