I'm not so sure how I feel inside theses days
It seems I'm slipping further into the black and gray.
The only way to escape, the only way to breathe
Is to retreat into my dreams.

I'm not sure how I feel, I'm not certain it's real
I don't know if you need to know.

Chorus
I am the monster beneath your bed
I am the skeleton in every closet.
All the things you hide, don't want no one to see...
those are the things that make up me.

I thought I'd figure things out while I was gone
Instead I realize that I am just more alone.
Don't need this disappointment. The guessing who's to blame.
Let me go home and face my shame.

I'm not sure how I feel, I'm not certain it's real
I don't know if you need to know.
I can hear when you pray but it won't make me stay
And I think you already know.

Chorus
I'm too strong for my own good now
I've built all these walls and I can't get out.
I'm too strong for my own good now
and I've built all these walls and I can't get out!

I'm not sure how I feel, I'm not certain it's real
I don't know if you need to know.
I am the monster beneath your bed
I am the skeleton in every closet.
All the things you hide- you know you can't hide!
Those are the things that make up Me.
