Monsters from New Road by Making Friends as Adults

When I was young, I used to be afraid of monsters
Hiding underneath the bed beneath the covers
I used to plug my ears and I'd shut my eyes
Now that I've evolved, what a big surprise
Now that I am grown, I'm not afraid of monsters
There's a thousand other things that try to haunt us
And all the scary things are right outside my door
Terrified, I won't go out anymore
Anymore

Shaky hands
Sweaty palms
Tightness in my chest
Oh my god
I can't breathe
What if I'm possessed?
Rapid heart
Butterflies
But it's not romantic
Nervous laugh
Can't disguise
It's a straight-up panic

Now that I am grown, I'm not afraid of monsters
There's a thousand other things that try to haunt us
And all the scary things are right outside my door
Terrified, I won't go out anymore
Anymore

A new kind of apparition
I'm hiding from the disarray of us today
No need for monster vision
Zombies are here amongst us now
We're dying of decay as the world just rots away

When I was young, I used to be afraid of monsters
Hiding underneath the bed beneath the covers
I used to plug my ears and I'd shut my eyes
Now that I've evolved, what a big surprise
Now that I am grown, I'm not afraid of monsters
There's a thousand other things that try to haunt us
And all the scary things are right outside my door
Terrified, I won't go out anymore
Anymore
Anymore
Anymore
Terrified, I won’t go out anymore
