The Monster (feat. Rihanna)

When the days are cold
And the cards all fold
And the saints we see
Are all made of gold

When your dreams all fail
And the ones we hail
Are the worst of all
And the blood’s run stale

I wanna hide the truth
I wanna shelter you
But with the beast inside
There’s nowhere we can hide

No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come

I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You're trying to save me, stop holding your breath
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy

Curtain’s call
Is the last of all
When the lights fade out
All the sinners crawl

So they dug your grave
And the masquerade
Will come calling out
At the mess you've made

Don't wanna let you down
But I am hell bound
Though this is all for you
Don't wanna hide the truth

No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come

I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You're trying to save me, stop holding your breath
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy, well that’s not fair

(under my bed)
It’s where my demons hide
(inside of my head)
It’s where my demons hide

You’re trying to save me, stop holding your breath
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy

You try to scream
But terror takes us out before you make it
You start to freeze
As someone looks you right between the eyes
You’re paralyzed

Woah oh, woah oh
Woah oh, woah oh

It’s where my deamons hide
Woah oh, woah oh
Woah oh, woah oh
Oooooh

I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed
Get along with the voices inside of my head
You're trying to save me, stop holding your breath
And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy, well that’s not fair

When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
You're trying to save me, stop holding your breath
You’re fighting for your life inside a killer thriller tonight
