[Verse 1] My head is full of monsters They sing in the corridors One shouts "go" The other "stay" They count my steps My mistakes I hear them knocking at night They sit at the foot of the bed Some pull me towards the abyss Some squeeze my chest (eh) [Chorus] My head is full of monsters That try to guide me To choose for me To break and save me But I've learned to know the monsters To call them by name To listen to them Among the wicked The quiet ones And even the sacred ones who know how to heal me (oh) [Verse 2] There are monsters with my face That laugh at my mistakes They hang my fragilities on the wall Like paintings hanging on the details Then there's one who's silent He sits next to me on the tram He tells me "breathe" Look outside And the chaos slowly becomes calm [Chorus] My head full of monsters That try to guide me To choose for me To break and save me But I've learned to know the monsters To call them by name To listen to them Among the wicked The quiet ones And even the sacred ones who know how to heal me [Bridge] I keep the wicked ones close If I look them in the eyes they fade a little The quiet ones stand guard over me When the world asks me "so what What do you want?" And the sacred ones? The sacred ones speak softly to me (sssh) They tell me "stay human" They tell me "stay" (stay, stay) [Chorus] My head full of monsters And now I let them speak I don't command But I don't run away either I've learned to sail Yes I've learned to know the monsters To sit there late Among the wicked The quiet ones And even the sacred ones who know how to guide me
