Monsters tell the truth At least tonight we do Fake blood drying on your collar Real words catching in your throat Everybody loves the costume No one asks what lives below All those smiles you wear for strangers Never tell them what you know You say I'm not what you expected I say good now let it show It's Halloween the lights go low The little lies have lost their glow We spend the year in borrowed skin Tonight we let the real ones in Monsters tell the truth When the mask comes loose Show me what you hide In the daylight Let your shadows move I've got shadows too Monsters tell the truth And I like the dark in you I like the dark in you I like the dark in you There's glitter falling off your cheekbones And a crack across my painted grin You say what happens in the daylight I say that's when the masks begin We look brave in borrowed faces But we're shaking underneath Keep the claws lose the performance You don't have to hide your teeth It's Halloween the lights go low The little lies have lost their glow We spend the year in borrowed skin Tonight we let the real ones in Monsters tell the truth When the mask comes loose Show me what you hide In the daylight Let your shadows move I've got shadows too Monsters tell the truth And I like the dark in you I like the dark in you I like the dark in you You can wash away the makeup You can let the daylight through When the party's finally over I'll still like the dark in you We don't have to keep the costumes Just the parts we know are true Monsters tell the truth When the mask comes loose Show me what you hide In the daylight Let your shadows move I've got shadows too Monsters tell the truth And I like the dark in you I like the dark in you I like the dark in you Monsters tell the truth I like the dark in you
