Monsters In The House

I know I drain you with my troubles every day

I don't mean to when the sunshines, let's make hay

But in my mind, it don't work like that for me

I wish the world be easier for you and me

Some days are easy and the laughter's strong and loud

We dance on air and there's no monsters in the house

But then someday I take a look under the bed

I'm scared to find what's in the darkness in my head

That's not the case, no, that's not the case at all

Outside's a beautiful day, but in my head there's a civil war

I try to understand, I try to dress the soldiers down

And when that don't work, I shed the tears of a clown

Some days are wearier, I take a look under the hood

Scared to find the engine's empty and no good

Then some days, the laughs are strong, we sing aloud

We dance on air and there's no monsters in the house

I know I drain you with my troubles every day

I don't mean to when the sunshines, let's make hay
