Bad and Blue - Monsters lyrics

[Rap Intro: Cameron Flowers] Choking on her screams Tears make her eyes sting Hoping something gets them open From her dreams She's seeing monsters In her nightmares and she's never free No peace It's getting hard for Her to breathe Running from these demons With stomachs wanting to eat She's never free No peace Uh! Uh! Uh! Uh! They coming Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! They coming! Uh! Uh! Uh! Uh! They coming Woah! Woah! Woah! Woah! They coming! [Verse 1: Tammara Gary] Snap, crackle pop Like a fantasy fairy in Neverland Forsaken thought a fictional being A creature so fleeting Boom boom shakalaka Man bombs explode in Your faces, burning up hands Dissolving in the thin air Oompa Loompas raining down From sawdust clouds, the lights are out Snakes crawling across eyebrows [Chorus: Tammara Gary] They're smarter than you think And some differ at the seams Books within your pillowcases Sound memories of new faces Hear me when you see me And believe me when you hear me Look into my eyes Know the secrets hide inside Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Monsters are alive, in your child's eyes Listen and you'll find [Rap Verse: Cameron Flowers] What's a tear drop to a sea? What's it take for you to see? I'm always down like I'm alone on the see-saw Asking for things to change like seasons What's it take for you to think of me? Everything that's going on don't you see? Don't you know that I'm right here When your eyes show no relief for my tears? And anyone smiling is flashing teeth They pierce into my flesh and my being Nowhere is there a way to leave I'll be trapped here for eternities Can't you see? Can't you see You paying the cost when you don't notice me You paying the cost when you ignoring me You paying the cost Can't you see when I'm here Can't you see when I'm here Can't you see what you hear? Can't you see what you hear? [Chorus: Tammara Gary] They're smarter than you think And some differ at the seams Books within your pillowcases Sound memories of new faces Hear me when you see me And believe me when you hear me Look into my eyes Know the secrets hide inside Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Monsters are alive, in your child's eyes Monsters are alive, in your child's eyes Monsters are alive, in your child's eyes Listen and you'll find [Outro: Billie Holiday Sample] Uh you know, when I first started, you know I got started, my first job, I didn't get the job at Smalls And Smalls was the biggest thing in Harlem then And uh I had a cat in New York named Charlie Johnson It was one of the biggest Negro bands In the country at that time You didn't hear nothing bout nobody but Fletcher Henderson and Charlie Johnson And I was a little kid when I went in there I was about thirteen and I'll never forget it Ma Johnson got me to audition, and she done Went through all this trouble ya know to get me to audition And I'm all ready to sing and this cat asks me, he says What key you singing in? I said I don't know man you done screwed up my -- [Incomprehensible Words] [Laughter]
