Lyrics Kate Miller–Heidke – Monster
Text:
Now
There is no room for doubt
You chew it up and spit it out
And you even start to sing
Then it comes out of nowhere
And bends you to the floor
It’s a deafening roar
And you cannot be sure
If it’s the monster under your bed
Or the voices in your head
Screaming like that
Cause you thought
That the voices were dead
That the monster had left
With your old single bed
Now
There is no time waste
Getting older everyday
But you take another look
And you’re 15 again
And you’re so scared of everyone
Unless they’re uglier than you
And you’re ashamed of what you’re up to
And you cannot be sure
If it’s the monster under your bed
Or the voices in your head
Screaming like that
Cause you thought
That the voices were dead
With your old single bed
And now it’s so far, so good
So why do I feel no different?
Give me a reason
It’s always one step forward
And two steps back
I can’t help it
I obey, I obey, I obey
I obey, that old monster
Anyway
Now
I think he was your friend once
You needed him I guess
You needed his protection
But now he is your hindrance
He is the one who stops you
From saying how you feel
And cover up what’s real
And you cannot be sure
If it’s the monster under your bed
Or the voices in your head
Screaming like that
Cause you thought
That the voices were dead
That the monster had left
With your old single bed
And now it’s so far, so good
So why do I feel no different?
Give me a reason
It’s always one step forward
And two steps back
I can’t help it
Give me a reason
So far, so good
So why do I feel no different?
(So far, so good)
Give me a reason
One step, one step
Two steps back
I can’t help it
I obey, I obey, I obey
I obey, I obey, I obey
I obey, I obey, I obey
