Monsters
[00:00.32] I killed my first monster
[00:02.19] When I was seven years old
[00:04.84] He melted like butter
[00:07.76] In my bathroom's
[00:09.09] Sixty-watt bulb
[00:11.21] Kept a three-cell Maglite
[00:14.13] From Daddy's workshop drawer
[00:17.05] Under my pillow
[00:19.98] And I'd pull it
[00:21.74] Like a sword
[00:23.61] Anymore when a
[00:25.21] Restless feelin'
[00:26.81] Keeps me up at night
[00:29.47] Fallin' on my knees
[00:32.12] Is my new turnin'
[00:33.99] On the light
[00:34.95] I keep my faith intact
[00:38.14] Make sure my prayers are said
[00:41.32] 'Cause I've learned
[00:43.18] That the monsters
[00:45.04] Ain't the ones
[00:45.84] Beneath the bed
[00:47.97] The wolf hunts a hungry man
[00:55.66] And the devil a lonely heart
[00:58.33] A minefield of
[00:59.65] Bad decisions
[01:01.51] Lay hidin' in the dark
[01:03.90] Greed stalks
[01:06.29] Sickness steals
[01:07.88] And pride
[01:08.42] Lays a wicked trap
[01:10.28] You can't avoid 'em all, no
[01:13.46] You gotta trust me on that
[01:16.38] Anymore when a
[01:18.51] Restless feelin'
[01:19.83] Keeps me up at night
[01:22.50] Fallin' on my knees
[01:25.41] Is my new turnin'
[01:27.01] On the light
[01:28.61] I keep my faith intact
[01:31.53] Make sure my prayers are said
[01:34.45] 'Cause I've learned
[01:36.57] That the monsters
[01:37.90] Ain't the ones

[02:06.33] Daddy, check my closet
[02:09.51] Leave on the bathroom light
[02:12.43] I smile and say "All clear"
[02:15.88] When I tuck him in
[02:17.21] For the night
[02:18.54] But Daddy, I'm still scared
[02:21.73] Can I sleep with you instead?
[02:25.19] I kneel down beside
[02:26.79] My little man
[02:28.10] And I bow my head
[02:31.82] Anymore when a restless feelin'
[02:35.55] Keeps me up at night
[02:38.73] Fallin' on my knees
