Monsters Inside My Head - Wiz Keitown
I keep my windows open when the midnight wind is cold
I trace the cracks in the ceiling like a map to what I'm told
Every shadow in the hallway feels like someone calling me
Whispers wrapped in velvet that I'm scared I'll never see
My reflection moves without me when the bathroom lights turn red
It smiles like it knows secrets I wish I could forget instead
Coffee's getting colder but my pulse is still alive
Counting every heartbeat like I'm barely meant to survive
And I try to breathe like everything is fine
Paint a pretty picture, draw a glittered silver line
But the silence feels like thunder in the space beneath my bed
And I swear I hear them dancing in the corridors of my head
There are monsters inside of my head tonight
Dressed in glitter, wrapped in candlelight
They sing my name like it's a sweet regret
A lullaby I'll never quite forget
They promise love but leave me filled with dread
Beautiful and cruel inside my head
I wear my heartbreak like a diamond on my sleeve
Shimmering for strangers who could never truly see
Every mirror tells a story I don't recognize as mine
Half a dream, half a nightmare, dripping slow like melted wine
I write my pain in lipstick on a shattered smoky wall
Calling out to angels who refuse to let me fall
Yet the ground keeps feeling closer with each fragile step I take
Like my crown is made of porcelain about to start to break
And I smile like porcelain, fragile but refined
Hiding all the chaos raging softly in my mind
But the moonlight paints my ceiling with a haunting silver thread
And I feel them creeping closer through the shadows in my head
There are monsters inside of my head tonight
Dressed in glitter, wrapped in candlelight
They sing my name like it's a sweet regret
A lullaby I'll never quite forget
They promise love but leave me filled with dread
Beautiful and cruel inside my head
Call me crazy, call me divine
Half a saint and half a crime
I dance with demons, kiss the dark
Let the flames ignite my heart
If this madness is my crown
Let the world just watch me drown
Then I'll rise like morning red
Stronger than the thoughts I've bled
There are monsters inside of my head tonight
But I'm shining fierce beneath the light
They can scream, they can tear me apart
I'll outsing the fear in my heart
Not a prisoner of what they said
I'm the queen of my own head
So when the night comes whispering soft and slow
I'll smile at every ghost I know
Not afraid of what they said
I've made peace with the monsters in my head
