Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was two years old
Peeking through the door
Saw his hand come down
And the room got sore
Mum held back the tears
Kept the broken plate
I hid behind the chair
Learned to fear his face
[Chorus]
Monster in the doorway
Monster in the room
I said it to my mum
With a baby’s broken truth
Monster in the doorway
I was small and blue
I saw his shadow hit her
I ran and hid from you (monster)
[Verse 2]
He wore Sunday smell
Like he owned the air
Mum would tense her jaw
Every time he’d stare
I’d clamp my hands on my ears
Press my knees to wood
Wish my little body
Could make the whole thing good
[Chorus]
Monster in the doorway
Monster in the room
I said it to my mum
With a baby’s broken truth
Monster in the doorway
I was small and blue
I saw his shadow hit her
I ran and hid from you (monster)
[Verse 3]
Now I know that word
Was my child-sized knife
Trying to name the fear
Trying to save her life
Mum, I’m sorry for
What came out that day
I wasn’t being cruel
I was trying to stay (stay)
[Bridge]
You made a house of dread
You made a lock of me
But I’m grown enough now
To see what I could see
What I called your face
Was the fear you wore
And I won’t keep that ghost
At my mother’s door (hey)
[Chorus]
Monster in the doorway
Monster in the room
I said it to my mum
With a baby’s broken truth
Monster in the doorway
I was small and blue
I saw his shadow hit her
I ran and hid from you (monster)
