Monsters

I'll lose you if I can't be alone I'm in love with your eyes when you get me stoned Drive me home and I'll sleepwalk back to you I am the girl that I thought I outgrew 22 years old in my parent's home Still speaking in a whisper on the phone Grandma lit up, cursing in the guest room All pissed off over the font on the family tomb When I leave, I'll leave in a quiet way But I'm too quiet to do anything but stay I keep trying to outline a better life But the pens run dry Yeah, the pens run dry And the lines never come out right anyway There are monsters everywhere I turn In disguise is my young self, I couldn't discern See them now in my brother's passing I see them now in my father's absence One is curled in the bedside wine glass In the master bedroom on mother's half I can hear the floorboards on which they creep I can feel their fingers while I sleep In a dream, I am 14 all again Watching my big brother talk to them Saying, "She ain't half your height, pick on someone else tonight" Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Oh, ooh, ooh, ooh Oh, oh, ooh, ooh
