Monsters Under My Skin Not My Bed
Don’t look under the bed…
They’re not there.
They’re closer.
They’re inside me.
I wake up with a war inside my head,
Another voice telling me I’m better off dead.
I wear a smile so nobody knows,
While something underneath me grows.
Every shadow has a face I recognize,
Every mirror shows the war behind my eyes.
I keep running, but I can’t escape—
The monster knows my name.
I feel it crawling underneath my skin,
Whispering, “Let me in.” But I’m done giving fear control— YOU DON’T
GET TO OWN MY SOUL!
MONSTERS UNDER MY SKIN!
NOT UNDER MY BED!
They’re screaming in my silence,
They’re living in my head!
I WON’T LET YOU TAKE CONTROL!
You can scream, but I won’t fold!
You live inside me—
BUT YOU DON’T OWN ME!
MONSTERS UNDER MY SKIN!
Under my skin!
NOT UNDER MY BED!
Under my skin!
NOT UNDER MY BED!
You live inside me!
BUT YOU DON’T OWN ME!
I fed the fear,
I fed the pain,
I let the darkness know my name.
Every time I tried to hide,
It grew a little more inside.
Now I’m done pretending I’m okay,
Done letting darkness choose my fate.
You want a war with me?
THEN COME AND TAKE YOUR BEST SHOT!
I feel it crawling underneath my skin,
Whispering, “Let me in.” But I’m done giving fear control—
YOU DON’T GET TO OWN MY SOUL!
Maybe you’re the fear
I’ve carried all these years.
Maybe you’re the part of me
I never wanted anyone to see.
But if you’re living inside me… Then hear me clearly.
I’M NOT AFRAID OF YOU ANYMORE.
GET OUT! GET OUT!
GET OUT OF MY HEAD!
You are not me!
YOU ARE NOT ME!
You live inside me— BUT YOU DON’T OWN ME!
NO! YOU DON’T! OWN!
ME!
MONSTERS UNDER MY SKIN!
NOT UNDER— MY BED!
MONSTERS UNDER MY SKIN!
NOT UNDER MY BED!
They’re screaming in my silence,
They’re living in my head!
I WON’T LET YOU TAKE CONTROL!
You can scream, but I won’t fold!
You live inside me— BUT YOU DON’T OWN ME!
MONSTERS UNDER MY SKIN!
UNDER MY SKIN!
NOT UNDER MY BED!
UNDER MY SKIN! NOT UNDER MY BED!
YOU LIVE INSIDE ME!
BUT YOU DON’T OWN ME!
The monsters are still here… But they don’t control me.
I control the dark.
