Bring The Monsters In

[Verse 1]
Wind claws at the window frame
Something breathing in the yard
You said
"Check the porch" like it’s nothing
But every step
The dark gets hard
I see claws around the doorbell
Yellow eyes behind the screen
They’re shaking like a match in a cyclone
Like they’re begging to come in
[Chorus]
If you’re cold
They’re cold
Bring the monsters in (hey!)
Line ’em by the heater
Let the horror grin
If you’re scared
They’re scared
They just want your skin
If you’re cold
They’re cold
Bring the monsters in
[Verse 2]
Fang prints on the kitchen tile
Dripping from the midnight rain
One’s curled up inside the bathtub
One’s laughing in the drain
You hand a blanket to the demon
Wipe the cobwebs from its chin
You say
"Everybody needs a shelter"
As the shadows crowd the den
[Chorus]
If you’re cold
They’re cold
Bring the monsters in (oh yeah)
Let ’em hug the radiator
Let the nightmares grin
If you’re scared
They’re scared
They just want your skin
If you’re cold
They’re cold
Bring the monsters in
[Bridge]
They’re under the bed
So you drag out a pillow
They’re scratching the walls
So you paint them yellow
You lock all the doors
Then you hand out keys
You whisper
"Stay forever"
As they sink their teeth
[Chorus]
If you’re cold
They’re cold
Bring the monsters in (bring ’em in)
Sit ’em at the table
Let the darkness win
If you’re scared
They’re scared
They just want your skin
If you’re cold
They’re cold
(bring the monsters in)
If you’re cold
They’re cold
Bring the monsters in

rock, Menacing alt-rock with drop-tuned guitars, male vocals. Quiet, tense intro on clean, chorus-soaked guitar, then slamming half-time drums and fuzz bass. Verses stalk with palm-muted riffs and whispered-to-growled vocal; chorus explodes with big open chords and gang shouts. Bridge strips to toms and droning guitar before a final, towering chorus., dramatic
