Monster In the Dark

There's a monster in the dark and it's taken your friend
There's a monster in the dark and you know it's the end
There's a monster in the dark and you know it's the day
There's a monster and you can't keep it at bay 

There's a monster in the dark and they all try to care
There's a monster in the dark and it's too much to bear
There's a monster in the dark and it's inside your head
There's a monster and it only wants you dead.

Nurses

Eat, work, eat, repeat.
That is what we do but sleep.
Eat, work, eat, repeat.
That is what we do to keep.

Eat, sleep, eat, drive.
That is what we do but thrive.
Eat, sleep, eat, drive.
That is what we do to survive.

Drive, stop, drive, splurge.
That is what we do but burst.
Drive, stop, drive, splurge.
That is life just for a nurse.

Stupid Monsters

I'll sit in in silence.
I'll sit here with lifeless.
Me.
I am the creature.

I'll stand in the rain.
I'll stand here with pain.
You.
You were the dreamer.

I'll lie in the ocean.
I'll lie here with emotion.
We.
We are the freaks.

I'll run in the sun.
I'll run here with fun.
We. 
We are the monsters.

And it's bloody stupid.
