Monsters

[00:01.29] I killed my first monster when I was seven years old
[00:06.32] He melted like butter in my bathroom's sixty-watt bulb
[00:12.13] Kept a three-cell MagLite from Daddy's workshop drawer
[00:18.58] Under my pillow and I'd pull it like a sword
[00:24.25] Anymore when a restless feelin' keeps me up at night
[00:30.24] Fallin' on my knees is my new turnin' on the light
[00:36.20] I keep my faith intact, make sure my prayers are said
[00:42.49] 'Cause I've learned that the monsters ain't the ones beneath the bed
[00:48.49]
[00:53.02] The wolf hunts a hungry man and the devil a lonely heart
[00:58.78] A minefield of bad decisions lay hidin' in the dark
[01:02.15]
[01:05.65] Greed stalks, sickness steals, and pride lays a wicked trap
[01:11.42] You can't avoid 'em all, no
[01:13.81] You gotta trust me on that
[01:16.82] Anymore when a restless feelin' keeps me up at night
[01:23.39] Fallin' on my knees is my new turnin' on the light
[01:29.57] I keep my faith intact, and make sure my prayers are said
[01:35.95] 'Cause I've learned that the monsters ain't the ones beneath the bed
[01:42.15]
[02:07.84] "Daddy, check my closet, leave on the bathroom light"
[02:14.11] I smile and say "All clear" when I tuck him in for the night
[02:19.65] "But Daddy, I'm still scared, can I sleep with you instead?"
[02:26.00] I kneel down beside my little man and I bow my head
[02:30.68]
[02:33.18] Anymore when a restless feelin' keeps me up at night
[02:40.16] Fallin' on my knees is my new turnin' on the light
[02:44.18] I keep my faith intact, make sure my prayers are said
[02:51.64] 'Cause I've learned that the monsters ain't the ones beneath the bed
[02:57.39]
[02:59.58] I've learned that the monsters ain't underneath the bed
