Monsters
[Intro]
I will lose you if I can't be alone
I'm in love with your eyes when you get me stoned
Drive me home and I'll sleepwalk back to you
I am the girl that I thought I outgrew

[Verse 1]
Twenty-two years old in my parents' home
Still speaking in whispers on the phone
Grandma lit up, cursing in the guest room
All pissed-off over the font on the family tomb
When I leave, I'll leave in a quiet way
But I'm too quiet to do anything but stay
I keep trying to outline a better life
But the pen's run dry, yeah, the pen's run dry
And the lines never come out right anyway

[Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 2]
There are monsters everywhere I turn
In disguises my young self couldn't discern
See them now in my brother's passing
I see them now in my father's absence
One is curled in a bedside wineglass
In the master bedroom, on Mother's half
I can hear the floorboards on which they creep
I can feel their fingers while I sleep
In a dream, I am fourteen all again
Watching my big brother talk to them
Saying, "She ain't half your height
Pick on someone else tonight"

[Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh, oh, ooh, ooh
