Monsters - Karmina

Monsters under my bed

Inside of my head

They say they’re hungry

But I’ve only got water

Bugs hum, make too much noise

I can’t hear my voice

Wish I could tell them

But I don’t speak buzz

Higher, I let go, higher, I let go

Higher, I let go, higher, I let go

Footprints cover my floors

As I pace back and forth

I walk in circles

But I’m looking for the stairs

Up to string lights and paint

Where the witches are saints

The freest thinkers

Break some rules

Feed the beasts and tuck in the bed bugs

Eat now, go to sleep now

Step back, I’m taking out soldiers

It’s safe now, and it’s not too loud
