Kate Miller-Heidke - Monster lyrics

rate me

Now there is no room for doubt

you chew it up and spit it out

and you even start to think

you know what you're about

then it comes out of nowhere

and it pins you to the floor

it's a defeaning roar

And you cannot be sure

if it's the monster under your bed

or the voices in your head

screaming like that

'cause you thought the voices were dead

that the monster had left with your old single bed

Now there is no time to waste

you're getting older every day

but you take another look

and you're fifteen again

and you're so scared of everyone

unless they're uglier than you

and you're ashamed of what you're up to

And you cannot be sure

if it's the monster under your bed

or the voices in your head

screaming like that

'cause you thought that the voices were dead

that the monster had left with your old single bed

And now it's so far so good

so why do I feel no different?

give me a reason

it's always one step forward and two steps back

I can't help it

I obey, I obey, I obey

I obey that old monster anyway

Now I think he was your friend once

you needed him I guess

needed his protection

nut now he is your hindrance

he is the one who stops you

from saying how you feel

And cover up what's real

And you cannot be sure

if it's the monster under your bed

or the voices in your head

screaming like that

'cause you thought that the voices were dead

that the monster had left with your old single bed

And now it's so far so good

So why do I feel no different?

Give me a reason

It's always one step forward and two steps back

I can't help it

I obey that old monster anyway
