Monsters

[Chorus: Danny] All these monsters are real All these monsters are real, it wasn't in my head All these monsters are real They're underneath my bed, yeah All these monsters are real All these monsters are real, it wasn't in my head All these monsters are real They're underneath my bed, yeah [Verse 1: Johnny 3 Tears] Cemetery walls in Glassell Park Some people die before it gets dark Down on Drew Street, they'll test your heart You better test back or they'll rip you apart How do you escape a voice in the next room? Show me a home, I'll show you a tomb A dead memory to a dead melody Is that what you're selling me? Your picket fence dream? No innocence lost, no innocence gone No one's innocent, it was you all along Nothing washes it away, no such thing as better days Not a single story, I'd tell a single soul A long goodbye, I guess that's how it goes The monsters are real, and everybody knows That under the bed, the monsters will show [Chorus: Danny] All these monsters are real All these monsters are real, it wasn't in my head All these monsters are real They're underneath my bed, yeah [Verse 2: J-Dog] I remember waking up and having rats in the kitchen No screens on the windows, that shit ain't no fiction There were too many mouths and too many children But the world don't give a fuck about us and our feelings Looking up, are you listening? 'Cause I'm on my knees Even though I'm not a Christian, listen, I might be One in a million, 'cause I made it out of that kitchen Now my friends are rats and they're snitching I never wanted to be a millionaire I just wanna make music I said, Lord, are you even there? Maybe you'll show up if I wreck this Buick I had to prove it, growing up, I grabbed a fifth I never had shit, so how could I lose it? Monsters are real, everybody knows Under the bed, the monsters will show [Outro: Killstation] I'm running from the monster now I can't escape, it holds me down I have become the monster now I hate my face, I love the sound Of running from the monster now You can't escape, I hold you down You have become the monster now I need to leave this goddamn town
