Lyrics
(Verse 1)
The shadows creep, anxiety seeps
Through the cracks beneath the door
Hear them pound, feel the ground
Shaking underneath the floor
My mind's awhirl, a fearsome swirl
Of catastrophic thoughts
Can't break free, no place to flee
From the demons that I've fought
(Chorus)
The monsters are here, whispering in my ear
"You're not okay, just give in to the fear"
I'm shaking again as the vampires descend
On my fragile psyche they feed and depend
This endless night, I'm losing the fight
As delusional frights become my plight
The monsters are here and the end is near
It's just my sick mind but it all feels so real
(Verse 2)
Tangled sheets, cold sweats and shakes
3 AM and wide awake
Panic starts, pounding heart
As the darkness grows opaque
Claws scratch and scrape, icy breath taking shape
In the gloom of my bedroom
Nowhere to hide, trapped inside
This paranoid prison of doom
(Chorus)
The monsters are here, whispering in my ear
"You're not okay, just give in to the fear" (give in, give in)
I'm shaking again as the vampires descend (descending, descending)
On my fragile psyche they feed and depend (feed, depend, yeah)
This endless night, I'm losing the fight (losing, losing)
As delusional frights become my plight
(Bridge)
Is this madness or a mind that's cracked? (cracked, cracked)
Nightmares and torment, a hellish attack (attack, attack)
Twisted perceptions and warped reality (warped, warped)
I'm begging for dawn, for clarity (clarity, clarity, yeah)
(Final Chorus)
The monsters are here, whispering in my ear (whisper, whisper)
"You'll never be free from this chronic fear" (never, never)
I'm losing control as the terror takes hold (take hold, take hold)
Powerless against the lies I've been told (lies, lies)
The monsters are real, at least that's how I feel (how I feel, feel)
When anxiety's claws sink into my heel (my heel, my heel)
The monsters... (monsters) the vampires... (vampires) my own private hell (hell, hell, hell)
All in my mind but it's too much to dispel (can't dispel, oh no)
[Instrumental Outro]
(hell, hell, hell)
All in my mind but it's too much to dispel (can't dispel, oh no)
[Instrumental Outro]
