Monsters in the Dark ft. Johnathan Russell Lyrics

I put my mattress on the floor

Removed the closet door

Exposed each place a skeleton could hide

I looked for ghosts up in the attic

For signal in the static

Took a flashlight to the Greasy underside

I sold Everything I could

Burned some more for firewood

Left the Rest on the street for trash to take away

There's a square left on the wall,

Where the sunlight used to fall

On the picture of you at sunset every day

So I've painted every room

Swept each corner with a broom

I've scrubbed away every scratch and mark

And when the light brings on the gloom

I keep a light on in every room

But when I close my eye

There are monsters in the dark

There were boxes in the cellar

Dating back to Rockefeller

Full of broken schemes I intended to repair

There were stains left on the floor

Two long scratched on the door

It took a year to clear the Sulphur from the air

The echo bounces of the wall

From my footsteps in the hall

It's the sound of owning nothing left to say

I finally cleared it all

Ran the final uninstall

And sunlight floods these empty rooms all day

At last it's all been cleared

There is nothing here to fear

I've scrubbed away every scratch and mark

But when the night brings on the gloom

I keep a light on in every room,

When I close my eyes

There are monsters in the dark
