[Verse 1] Come a little closer, baby Curtains shut, door turned low There’s a shape beneath the blanket Where the cold floor shadows go I know you hear it breathing Soft as dust, soft as sin Little teeth in the dark there But I’m the one you let in [Pre-Chorus] Don’t you shake, don’t you run Hold my hand, count to one If the room starts crawling Stay where I am [Chorus] Don’t fear the monsters Be afraid of me Don’t fear the monsters I keep the key Don’t fear the monsters They learn to hide Be afraid of me I’m what’s inside [Verse 2] I got silk around my throat now Sweet and sharp on my tongue I can sing your name so pretty Till your brave heart comes undone Little claws on the mattress Little eyes in the seam But they only want your tremble I want your little scream [Pre-Chorus] Don’t you shake, don’t you run Hold my hand, count to one If the room starts crawling Stay where I am [Chorus] Don’t fear the monsters Be afraid of me Don’t fear the monsters I keep the key Don’t fear the monsters They learn to hide Be afraid of me I’m what’s inside [Bridge] Shh, baby Close your eyes Let the dark take shape I’m the lullaby [Final Chorus] Don’t fear the monsters Be afraid of me Don’t fear the monsters I keep the key Don’t fear the monsters They learn to hide Be afraid of me I’m what’s inside
