Trading Fears

from Pleasant Company EP by Laurie Ray

/

lyrics

I fear for myself
I fear for this place
I fear that the rain
will drown me
I fear that I will
be replaced
I fear the thunder
and the lightning
listen to me
loud and clear
take a deep breath
and stand a bit taller, dear
make a deal with the monster under your bed
trade your childish fears for bigger ones instead
hide from the politician, the preacher, your family, and your friends
won’t you miss the monster under your bed? That takes over your mind? and controls your head?
won’t you the monster that lives under your bed?
you think you’ll be alright
you can make it through another night
but something in the back of your head asks you
“is that right?”
can you really be ok after this
with no hand to hold
no face to kiss
can you really make it through this?
the world is so
cold and lonely
without anyone to call yours only
this wasn’t in the bargain, was it?
you made a deal with the monster under your bed
you traded your childish fears for bigger ones instead now
you’re hiding from the politician, the preacher, your family, and your friends
don’t you miss the monster under your bed? Who controlled your mind and took over your head
you sure do miss the monster that used to live under your bed
