Monsters Under My Bed

These thoughts, I can't quite shut them off It's like the switch is broken, just like me Why can't I find a little peace and quiet? Oh, my kingdom for some silence It's been a busy day "You should be tired", they say But I'm so wide awake, overanalyzing the mistakes And am I one? Well, who's to say (Tic-toc, tic-toc, tic-toc, tic-toc) Seconds passing and I'm wide awake (Tic-toc, tic-toc, tic-toc, tic-toc) Why can't I shut off my brain? It's been three weeks and I still can't sleep in my bed Blame it on all the voices in my head Telling me that I'd be better off dead Blame it on the monsters under my bed Wine and whiskey make me feel fine and frisky But with no one to please me, how can I be sleepy? All I can think about are these infinite doubts I'm an idiot, I'm full of shit and everybody knows it Why is my existence such a crime? I can't get my mind off my mind I'm running in circles like it's a circus But these animals are feeling nervous (Tic-toc, tic-toc, tic-toc, tic-toc) Seconds passing and I'm wide awake (Tic-toc, tic-toc, tic-toc, tic-toc) Why can't I shut off my brain? It's been three weeks and I still can't sleep in my bed Blame it on all the voices in my head Telling me that I'd be better off dead Blame it on the monsters under my bed And I see, but I can't believe what I've read Could it be that I might've been mislead? Close my eyes, but I'm wide awake instead Blame it on the monsters under my bed Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the Lord, my soul to keep And if I die before I wake I pray the Lord, my soul to take Am I just delirious? Or is this something serious? And I should see a doctor, but I don't think they'd understand us And I've got a confession I've got a condition And under these conditions I'm wishing I wasn't Well, it's been three weeks and I still can't sleep in my bed Blame it on all the voices in my head Telling me that I'd be better off dead Blame it on the monsters under my bed And I see, but I can't believe what I've read Could it be that I might've been mislead? Close my eyes, but I'm wide awake instead Blame it on the monsters under my bed
