Monsters Under the Bed

The monsters under my bed are talking in whispers again,
but I can hear the schemes they are plotting to scare me
into nightmares of darkness as if they don't know 
it's a place of refuge from the nightmare walking in daylight~
I call him Dad, and I'm the only one who knows 
he's a monster in disguise.
