Monsters In My Mind

(album: Where Oceans Meet - 2021)

When I feel my heart go dark inside
She knows how to bring it back to light
When even the good parts don't feel right
She keeps out the monsters in my mind

Say my prayers and wait for the sunrise
You show up in all of the worst times
Always close, my demons in disguise

By my side since I can remember
You and love always go together
Tried it all but the drugs don't work tonight

So I close my eyes
And I count to ten
And I hope the feeling's gone
When I open them again
And I stop the clocks
And I take a breath
And the water's rising, I'm in over my head

When I feel my heart go dark inside
She knows how to bring it back to light
When even the good parts don't feel right
She keeps out the monsters in my mind

Looks so easy, young dumb and happy
Wish it was but it's not exactly
Tripping on the same cracks every time

So I close my eyes
And I count to ten
And I hope the feeling's gone
When I open them again

When I feel my heart go dark inside
She knows how to bring it back to light
When even the good parts don't feel right
She keeps out the monsters in my mind

So I close my eyes
And I count to ten
And I hope the feeling's gone
When I open them again
And I stop the clocks
And I take a breath
And the water's rising, I'm in over my head

When I feel my heart go dark inside
She knows how to bring it back to light
When even the good parts don't feel right
She keeps out the monsters in my mind

When I feel my heart go dark inside
She knows how to bring it back to light
When even the good parts don't feel right
She keeps out the monsters in my mind
