Monsters

Lyrics

There was once a time that I was scared to fly.
Something about the heights always brought me down.
And the day I got on the plane,
I thought of every way that we'd crash into the ground.

Now I know I was having a bad dream.
I was planting a bad seed.
I was stuck in my head.
Now I know there ain't nothin to dread 'cause
Nothin's coming to get us.
The monsters under your bed...
They're up in your head.

Once I couldn't sleep, wondering who believed
The rumors about me...the way young people do.
And I bought every nasty thought.
It left me so distraught that all the make believe came true.

Now I know I was having a bad dream.
I was planting a bad seed.
I was stuck in my head.
Now I know there ain't nothin to dread 'cause
Nothin's coming to get us.
The monsters under your bed...
They're up in your head.

There ain't ghosts in any graveyard. There ain't demons in our souls.
There ain't hope for any safeguard against what you can't control.

I've been where you are: breaking my own heart,
Shooting my own stars, clipping my own wings.
And my fears, they held me down for years,
But all my worry dear, it didn't change a thing.

Now I know I was having a bad dream.
I was planting a bad seed.
I was stuck in my head.
Now I know there ain't nothin to dread 'cause
Nothin's coming to get us.
The monsters under your bed...
They're up in your head.
