I have a monster that lives under my bed He whispers ugly stories about being dead I shiver in my covers; eyes wide As his claws tickle at my side I have a beast that lives in my closet Often I hear her groan and ***** I hide and pretend she's not there But at night I hear her in my rocking chair I have creatures that live in my walls They scratch and whisper down the hall I squeeze my eyes shut; afraid While they chatter about making me their slave We children have devils in our heads They screamed, our eyes bled We huddle and hide, wishing and praying But of course, they claim they are staying

We Children
I have a monster that lives under my bed He whispers ugly stories about being dead I shiver in my covers; eyes wide As his claws tickle at my side I have a beast that lives in my closet Often I hear her groan and ***** I hide and pretend she's not there But at night I hear her in my rocking chair I have creatures that live in my walls They scratch and whisper down the hall I squeeze my eyes shut; afraid While they chatter about making me their slave We children have devils in our heads They screamed, our eyes bled We huddle and hide, wishing and praying But of course, they claim they are staying
