Monsters

I killed my first monster when I was seven years oldHe melted like butter in my bathroom's sixty-watt bulbKept a three-cell Maglite from Daddy's workshop drawerunder my pillow and I'd pull it like a swordAnymore when a restless feelin' keeps me up at nightFallin' on my knees is my new turnin' on the lightI keep my faith intact, make sure my prayers are said'Cause I've learned that the monsters ain't the ones beneath the bedThe wolf hunts a hungry man and the devil a lonely heartA minefield of bad decisions lay hidin' in the darkGreed stalks, sickness steals, and pride lays a wicked trapYou can't avoid 'em all, noYou gotta trust me on thatAnymore when a restless feelin' keeps me up at nightFallin' on my knees is my new turnin' on the lightI keep my faith intact, make sure my prayers are said'Cause I've learned that the monsters ain't the ones beneath the bedDaddy, check my closet, leave on the bathroom lightI smile and say "All clear" when I tuck him in for the nightBut Daddy, I'm still scared, can I sleep with you instead?I kneel down beside my little man and I bow my headAnymore when a restless feelin' keeps me up at nightFallin' on my knees is my new turnin' on the lightI keep my faith intact, make sure my prayers are said'Cause I've learned that the monsters ain't the ones beneath the bedI've learned that the monsters ain't underneath the bed
