Monsters

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I was hanging upside-down from the overpass Waiting to discover something about the world I couldn't get with the programme And I couldn't listen to them It was like trying to think in reverse [Pre-Chorus 1] And I don't want to slide into apathy And I don't want to die in captivity But these monsters follow me around Hunting me down, try to wipe me out [Chorus 1] Wipe me out Wipe me out Wipe me out [Verse 2] Yeah, I was hiding away underwater Waiting for distance and buying some time Trying to be two-hundred thousand years younger So I could excuse myself from humankind [Pre-Chorus 2] Cause I don't wanna be a container Or a bastard with a ten-page disclaimer But these monsters spin me around Get me down, just tryin' to shut me out [Chorus 2] Shut me out Shut me out Shut me out [Bridge] Hold it in your head Hold it in your head Hold it in your head Believe and make believe and make believe [(Chorus) / Verse 2] (Shut me out...) I was hiding away underwater (Shut me out...) Waiting for distance, waiting for time [(Chorus) / Pre-Chorus 1] (Shut me out...) And I don't want to slide into apathy (Shut me out) And I don't, and I don't want to live in captivity [Chorus 2] (Shut me out...) Ooo, ooo (Shut me out...) (Shut me out...) (Shut me out...)
