I asked if there were monsters.
"There's no such thing" they said "There's nothing inside your closet, or underneath your bed"
"Now dry your eyes and go back to sleep. It's all inside your head."
I know that parents don't mean to lie, but I think they were misled
But I know better now - the stories get in the way
It wants us to believe - the lies the people say
Mama tell me how - to make the monsters go away
Cuz killing things that don't exist - that must be ok
Can we say it without lying, that there's nothing in the night?
Can we tell the kids there's no such thing when we turn out the lights?
So when they ask if there are monsters, I tell them, "Not for too much longer...not for too much longer..."
