Monster under the Bed

Where it all began
I cannot tell
where the smiles ended
and where the tainted love began

You come from under the bed
with sharp teeth
and blood stained wings
of empty eye sockets
and vile thoughts

It's so dark down there
in the empty sea of your world
they tell me
just because I hear your voice
doesn't mean you exist
I need to stop pretending

But no matter what they say
you'll still come up
and tell me you still love me
and I'll keep pretending that you mean it
