Monsters

[Verse 1]
I was hanging upside-down from the overpass
Waiting to discover something about the world
I couldn't get with the programme
And I couldn't listen to them
It was like trying to think in reverse

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And I don't want to slide into apathy
And I don't want to die in captivity
But these monsters follow me around
Hunting me down, try to wipe me out

[Chorus 1]
Wipe me out...
Wipe me out...
Wipe me out...

[Verse 2]
Yeah, I was hiding away underwater
Waiting for distance and buying some time
Trying to be two-hundred thousand years younger
So I could excuse myself from humankind

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Cause I don't wanna be a container
Or a bastard with a ten-page disclaimer
But these monsters spin me around
Get me down, just tryin' to shut me out

[Chorus 2]
Shut me out...
Shut me out...
Shut me out...

[Bridge]
Hold it in your head
Hold it in your head
Hold it in your head...
Believe and make believe and make believe

[(Chorus) / Verse 2]
(Shut me out...) I was hiding away underwater
(Shut me out...) Waiting for distance, waiting for time

[(Chorus) / Pre-Chorus 1]
(Shut me out...) And I don't want to slide into apathy
(Shut me out) And I don't, and I don't want to live in captivity

[Chorus 2]
(Shut me out...)
Ooo, ooo
(Shut me out...)
(Shut me out...)
(Shut me out...)
