lyrics

Been waking up in this same bed
Since I was a little kid;
My feet stick out but it still holds
The same comforts that it ever did.
Teddy bears defended me
From closet monsters and under the bed,
But getting older I soon found
The real beasts were in my head.

They'd stalk me in my waking
And they'd follow me to school.
I couldn't think for thoughts drowned out
By relentless whispers cruel.
I'd scribble out my suffering
My sanity to keep,
But the only solace I could find
Was shallow dreamless sleep.

But here I found the best defense:
Give meaning to your future tense,
Fight off your morbid shit
By making something out of it.

Sleep kept me safe a little while,
The monsters out of sight -
But hiding under covers
You can never see the light
That's capable of revealing them
For what they really are:
Measly fucking lies that can be killed
By your guitar!

Here I found the best defense:
Give meaning to your future tense,
Fight off your morbid shit
By making something out of it.

(Beki)
