Simmer down
Says the angel on your shoulder
Louder now
Says the fire at your neck
But I know you much better
you wouldn't play with a flame
watch it burn, watch it flicker
Till its something that you can tame
Hear the ghosts
as they assemble in the evening
whispering
yes they're calling out your name
well if you weren't such a coward
get up from under your bed
and tell me what it is your after
that's when you looked up at me and said
"Well I'm just a monster
Hiding from sighting 'till someone comes my way
I'm just a monster
No one will stay cause I scare them all away
I'm just a lonely, leery, weary soul who's longing for a heart"
No, you're no monster
You're still afraid of the dark
"Tell me now
What's this spell that I've been under
Help me out," you asked with hunger in your eyes
"For if love is the answer
I was damned from the start
Who could love this disaster
I'm just a body, no beating heart
Cause I'm just a monster
Hiding from sighting 'till someone comes my way
I'm just a monster
No one will stay cause I scare them all away
I'm just a monster
Hiding from sighting 'till someone comes my way
I'm just a monster
No one will stay cause I scare them all away
I'm just a lonely, leery, weary soul who's longing for a heart"
No, you're no monster
You're still afraid of the dark
