Joe and Will Ask? Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's been so long since I stared evil in the face
Monster
All I want is you
I've never been more confused
Yes it's true I've got a monster
Living under my bed she squeaks and she cries
And she horrifies everything I've ever been
She takes away and doesn't let me go
She doesn't let me go, don't you know it's terrible
Monster let me go
There's a world outside that I have yet to find
You of all know that I must be selfish
You of all know that I must be selfish
She's a monster
Watch her roar
Her fangs they bleed and gnash
She's a terrifying, electrifying monster
And I don't wanna be here alone with her
She's gonna eat me alive
And I know what it's like to die because of you
And you're just a monster
Yes, you're just a monster
You're just a monster
