"Simmer down"
Says the angel on your shoulder
"Louder now"
Says the fire at your neck

But I know you much better
You wouldn’t play without flames
Watch it burn, watch it flicker
'Till it's something that you can take

Hear the ghosts
As they assemble in the evening
Whispering
Yes, they’re calling out your name

Well if you aren’t such a coward
Get up from under your bed
And tell me what it is you’re after
That’s when you looked up at me and said:

“Well I’m just a monster
Hiding from sighting ‘till someone comes my way
I’m just a monster
No one will stay ‘cause I scare them all away
I’m just a lonely, leery, weary soul
Who’s longing for a heart”
No, you’re no monster
You’re still afraid of the dark

Tell me now
What’s the spell that I’ve been under?
Help me out
You ask with hunger in your eyes

For the love is the answer (for the love is the answer)
I was dead from the start
Who could love this disaster?
I’m just a body, no beating heart

Cause I’m just a monster
Hiding from sighting ‘till someone comes my way
I’m just a monster
No one will stay ‘cause I scare them all away
"I’m just a monster
Hiding from sighting ‘till someone comes my way
I’m just a monster
No one will stay ‘cause I scare them all away
I’m just a lonely, leery, weary soul
Who’s longing for a heart”
No, you’re no monster
You’re still afraid of the dark
You’re still afraid of the dark

Afraid of the dark
Afraid of the dark
