Monster In the Wall

I see a monster in the wall He's in the air, he's in the halls When I turn my back he creeps inside my veins No one listens when I say That he haunts me every day Oh I wish that I could chase him far away I lie awake at night Pull up the covers tight I see his shadows dancing 'round A creeping silhouette I start to shake and sweat He's on my ceiling looking down I beg him please just let me go Why won't you leave me here alone From the corners of my room he says I'm your fear I'm your hurt I'm the rumors that you heard I'm your doubt I'm your shame You'll forever be in pain So I cry In my bed Licking wounds that never mend Wonder if this nightmare ever ends I see a monster in the wall He's in the air, he's in the halls When I turn my back he creeps inside my veins No one listens when I say That he haunts me every day Oh I wish that I could chase him far away He's always on my mind Nowhere to run or hide Enough to make me scream and shout I put the records on Sing all my favorite songs But I can never drown him out I bolt the door I lock me in Somehow he gets under my skin And like a ghost he whispers in my head You're a joke You're depressed You're a failure and a mess You're a fool You're unloved You will never be enough So I hide In my room 'Cause no one can see my gloom Wondering what more I have to lose I see a monster in the wall He's in the air, he's in the halls When I turn my back he creeps inside my veins No one listens when I say That he haunts me every day Oh I wish that I could chase him far away I see a monster in the wall He's in the air, he's in the halls Oh I wish that I could chase him far away
