[Verse 1]
And just before midnight
You came into our room
A demon so frightening
Both ancient and new
[Refrain]
Gonna leave the light on for you
Gonna leave the light on for you
Gonna leave the light on for you
[Verse 2]
You're a creature of sorrow
You're the beast we made
You scratch at our sadness
'Til we're broken and frayed
[Refrain]
Gonna leave the light on for you
Gonna leave the light on for you
Gonna leave the light on for you
[Chorus]
Eat the weak and devour the saved
From our bones, a new monster's made
Smack the buildings, eat the place, destroy all day
[Verse 3]
Do you feast on nostalgia?
Take pleasure from pain
Look out 'cause the children
Will learn your real name
[Refrain]
Gonna leave the light on for you
Gonna leave the light on for you
Gonna leave the light on for you
[Chorus]
Eat the weak and devour the saved
From our bones, a new monster's made
Smack the buildings, eat the place, destroy all day
Eat the weak and devour the saved
From our bones, a new monster's made
Nothing left but ruins at the end of the day
[Chorus]
Eat the weak and devour the saved
From our bones, a new monster's made
Smack the buildings, eat the place, destroy all day
Eat the weak and devour the saved
From our bones, a new monster's made
Nothing left but ruins at the end of the day
