Oh, some people feed off of dreams and reverie
I walk the line with that monster inside of me
What's on the outside, all I appear to be
Ain't what you find when you dig, dig, dig deep
Play in the sandbox just like the rest of them
Voice on the jukebox, croon with the best of them
Lyrics and rhyme - sometimes - my only friends
It's just where I have to go to find them
Oooh, ooh Monster
Oh, Oh Monster
I learn to live with the monster
He needs to feed my sweet monster
Sow what you reap, the monster
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
The scars that I try to hide greet me at the door
Give my mind just one, it wants one more
It shackles, I twist and resist: the monster's born
The stories I write he hides inside them
Oooh, ooh Monster
Oh, Oh Monster
I learn to live with the monster
He needs to feed my sweet monster
Sow what you reap with the monster
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Solo
Some people feed off of dreams and reverie
Seems so harmless messin' with fantasy
Imagination lives inside of me
I close my eyes and hide inside it
Monster
I learn to live with the monster
He needs to feed my sweet monster
Sow what you reap monster
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Monster
I learn to live
Monster
He needs to feed, the sweet
Monster
Sow what you reap
The Monster
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
