Final Girl With Monsters

Verse 1 I made friends with the Joker, he laughs when I cry, Said, “Baby, paint a smile on and weaponize the lie.” Freddy met me in my nightmares, said, “You live here too,” I said, “Good, then move over, I’ve got trauma to get through.” Jason doesn’t talk much, but he walks beside my rage, Machete in the moonlight, like a guard dog out the cage. Chucky’s in the corner with a grin and a knife, Saying, “You’re not crazy, doll, you’re just tired of being nice.” ⸻ Pre-Chorus I used to run from shadows, now I invite them in, Set a place at the table for every little sin. If fear wants to haunt me, it better learn my name, I’m not the same girl who screamed inside the frame. ⸻ Chorus I made friends with the monsters, now they know where I sleep, Leatherface at the doorway, Gremlins under my feet. Jigsaw left a lesson carved into my spine, “Do you wanna live, or just survive?” I’m laughing in the wreckage, dancing with damnation, Watching all the signs point to my final destination. But I ain’t scared of the ending, I’ve been dying to begin, I made friends with the monsters— Now the monster’s me within. ⸻ Verse 2 Leatherface don’t scare me, I’ve heard louder in my head, Chainsaw sounds like silence compared to what they said. The Gremlins got me giggling, chaos in the lights, Feeding after midnight like my thoughts on sleepless nights. Jigsaw said, “Choose wisely,” with the clock against my chest, I said, “I’ve been tested daily, baby, this is not a test.” Every trap, every nightmare, every blood-soaked scene, Was just another mirror showing who I had to be. ⸻ Pre-Chorus 2 I used to fear the basement, now I keep my throne there, Candles in the darkness, wildflowers in my hair. If death pulls up slowly in a black sedan, I’ll wave from the window like, “I know who I am.” ⸻ Chorus I made friends with the monsters, now they know where I sleep, Leatherface at the doorway, Gremlins under my feet. Jigsaw left a lesson carved into my spine, “Do you wanna live, or just survive?” I’m laughing in the wreckage, dancing with damnation, Watching all the signs point to my final destination. But I ain’t scared of the ending, I’ve been dying to begin, I made friends with the monsters— Now the monster’s me within. ⸻ Bridge Joker taught me laughing doesn’t mean I’m okay, Freddy taught me nightmares can still fade in the day. Jason taught me silence can be louder than screams, Chucky taught me pretty things can hide sharp seams. Leatherface showed faces can be stitched out of pain, Gremlins taught me chaos still remembers my name. Jigsaw taught me living is the hardest game to play— And Final Destination said, “Not today.” ⸻ Final Chorus I made friends with the monsters, now they sit at my feast, No more running from the demons, no more begging for peace. I turned every villain into part of my salvation, Made a haunted little home out of my devastation. So let the ceiling crack, let the black birds fly, Let the credits roll slowly across the sky. I’m not scared of the ending, I survived the scene— I made friends with the monsters, And they bowed to the queen. ⸻ Outro Tick-tock, lights out, hear the floorboards bend, Every horror story has to meet its end. But I’m the final girl, breathing through the screen— I made friends with the monsters… And the monsters crowned me queen.
