lyrics

Endless summertime; absent the divine
I'm sure I told you so
Anything you see don't mean much to me
I'm sure I told you so

I am the beast beneath your bed

If I rise before I wake leave me resting
Should I be consumed in flames leave me combusting
If I appear a little dazed leave me tripping
Will we walk this earth again? Hell yeah.

Most of us ain't so bad but as for me I will burn in hell

I'd give up all my money; I'd give my very soul
I'd take a little time to take a walk and walk around the world
Don't you let me

Most of us ain't so bad but as for me I will burn in hell
I'd give up all my money; I'd give my very soul
Have mercy, lord

Am I on my way?
Everything's a lie
Am I right or wrong or is that a lie?
Everything's a lie, right through my teeth

I am the beast beneath your bed
Go on, run to you mother, child; I'll tell you what she says
"Oh darlin', don't be afraid. You see? The only monsters come when you're wide awake."

I stared the devil down
You know evil don't need no one around
