Monster Lyrics

You be careful of that monster's thrash

You do not want to feel his lash

He is the monster in your head too

He is the shame from the things we can't undo

He is the monster who made me, me

In broken pieces, he just left them be

No one will quite ever understand

Why I am like the way that I am

It doesn't matter how or what was done wrong

An obsession over my failure grows strong

My niceness depletes—it dries up inside

Then he who was hidden comes out with pride

He is the monster created in our heads

Given the chance you should leave him for dead

An unassuming, charming, quirky guy

Who turns into the worst at night

He is the monster that slows you down

Makes you second guess everything around

Quickly he can turn your faith into doubt

His path of destruction will leave you with a blackout!

You be careful of that monster's thrash

You do not want to feel his lash

He is the monster in your head too

He is the shame from the things we can't undo

Toxic and dangerous he speaks his mind

But rarely are his words the gentle kind

Never content or filled with delight

There's always something to fuel a fight

It doesn't matter how or what was done wrong

An obsession over my failure grows strong

My niceness depletes—it dries up inside

Then he who was hidden comes out with pride

He is the monster created in our heads

Given the chance you should leave him for dead

An unassuming, charming, quirky guy

Who turns into the worst at night

He is the monster that slows you down

Makes you second guess everything around

Quickly he can turn your faith into doubt

His path of destruction will leave you with a blackout!

Not all monsters hide under your bed

Most monsters like to hide in our heads

Not just monsters that pop out to go boo

(Boo!) But inner critics who you succumb to

He is the monster created in our heads

Given the chance you should leave him for dead

An unassuming, charming, quirky guy

Who turns into the worst at night

He is the monster that slows you down

Makes you second guess everything around

Quickly he can turn your faith into doubt

His path of destruction will leave you with a blackout!

You be careful of that monster's thrash

You do not want to feel his lash

He is the monster in your head too

He is the shame from the things we can't undo

He's the twisted voice that whispers low

Saying things no one should ever know

He's a bougie critic too tough to satisfy

Whose sharp projections are amplified…
