about
This song is about letting all our negative thoughts and emotions take control.
lyrics
I've got a monster in my head.
It's sick and it's quick and it's running with both of my legs.
When's the last time that I slept.
I've got a monster in my head.
It thinks for itself while pretending to help.
It won't get out of my head.
It won't get out of my head.
And it whispers to me don't be afraid I'll take the lead.
And it whispers to me don't be afraid I'll take the lead.
I've got a monster in my head.
It feeds through my needs, perverting my dreams.
It won't get out of my head.
It won't get out of my head.
I've got a monster in my head.
It thinks for itself while pretending to help.
It won't get out of my head.
It won't get out of my head.
And it whispers to me don't be afraid I'll take the lead.
And it whispers to me you've done all that you can, so leave it to me.
I'm losing all control of my mind and where it goes.
And this body moves just by itself on its own.
All these people unaware of what's hiding in my bones.
And I'm struggling so hard just to keep in control.
I've got a monster in my head.
I've got a monster in my head.
I've got a monster in my head.
I've got a monster in my head.
And it whispers to me don't be afraid I'll take the lead.
And it whispers to me you've done all that you can, so leave it to me.
And it whispers to me don't be afraid I'll take the lead.
And it whispers to me you've done all that you can so leave it to me.
