Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I killed my first monster when I was seven years old
He melted like butter in my bathroom sixty watt bulb
Kept a 3-cell Maglite from daddy's workshop drawer
In under my pillow and I pulled it like a sword
[Chorus]
Anymore when a restless feelin'
Keeps me up at night
Fallin' on my knees
Is my new turnin' on the light
I keep my faith in tail, make sure my prayers are said
'Cause I've learned that the monsters ain't the ones beneath the bed
[Verse 2]
The wolf hunts a hungry man and the devil a lonely heart
A minefield of bad decisions lay hidin' in the dark
And greed stalks, sickness steals and pride lays a wicked trap
You can't avoid them all, no, you gotta trust me on that
[Chorus]
Anymore when a restless feelin'
Keeps me up at night
Fallin' on my knees
Is my new turnin' on the light
I keep my faith in tail and make sure my prayers are said
'Cause I've learned that the monsters ain't the ones beneath the bed
[Verse 3]
Daddy check my closet
And leave on the bathroom light
I smile and say "All clear" when I tuck him in for the night
But daddy I'm still scared, can I sleep with you instead?
I nipped down beside my little man
And I bow my head
[Chorus]
Anymore when a restless feelin'
Keeps me up at night
Fallin' on my knees
Is my new turnin' on the light
I keep my faith in tail, make sure my prayers are said
'Cause I've learned that the monsters ain't the ones beneath the bed
And I've learned that the monsters ain't underneath the bed
