American Aquarium Monsters Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Saw you sleepin' yesterday
Facedown in a shoebox
You were lyin' just the way
You were the day I left you
Dust settles on your face
As time consumes the memories
Now you're nothin' but a name
Another face in the crowd

[Chorus]
And where were you when I needed a friend?
And where were you when I was at the end?
And I take back the words I said
'Cause all I have of you are the monsters under my bed
Monsters under my bed

[Verse 2]
I forgot how you used to smile
Before the walls came tumblin'
Down on what we had
A kingdom reduced to nothin'
I'm surprised that you stayed
Two years of degradation
You were fightin' just to save
A sinner not worth savin'

[Chorus]
And where were you when I needed a friend?
And where were you when I was at the end?
And I take back the words I said
'Cause all I have of you are the monsters under my bed
The monsters under my bed

[Verse 3]
Well I lay my sins to rest
Judgement Day at last
I'll never see tomorrow
If I'm livin' in the past
I'm a better man today
Two years to my favor
And you're nothin' but a name
Another face in the crowd
