"MONSTERS" lyrics

"MONSTERS"

Good for you, you fooled everybody
Good for you, you fooled everyone
Good for you, now you're somebody
Good for you, you fooled everyone

Leave your weapon on the table
Wrapped in burlap, barely able
Don't get angry, don't discourage
Take a shot of liquid courage

'Cause my monsters are real, and they're trained how to kill
And there's no coming back and they just laugh at how I feel
And these monsters can fly, and they'll never say die
And there's no going back, if I get trapped I'll never heal
Yeah, my monsters are real

Good for you, you hurt everybody
Good for you, you hurt everyone
Good for you, you love nobody
Good for you, you owe no one

Leave your weapon on the table
Wrapped in burlap, barely able
Call a doctor, say a prayer
Choose a God you think is fair

'Cause my monsters are real, and they're trained how to kill
And there's no coming back and they just laugh at how I feel
And these monsters can fly, and they'll never say die
And there's no going back, if I get trapped I'll never heal
'Cause my monsters are real

Leave your weapon on the table
Wrapped in burlap, barely able
Don't get angry, don't discourage
Take a shot of liquid courage

Leave a light on if you're able
'Cause we both know you're unstable
Call a doctor, say a prayer
Choose a God you think is fair

'Cause my monsters are real, and they're trained how to kill
And there's no coming back and they just laugh at how I feel
And these monsters can fly, and they'll never say die
And there's no going back, if I get trapped I'll never heal
Yeah, my monsters are real

"MONSTERS" is the third single from the album. The song was inspired by Brent Smith's struggles with alcoholism. He told Louder Sound, "...the song is not just about substance abuse. It's about a lot of different situations that people get put in because they have things in their mind that–for whatever reason–they used to sabotage themselves. They don't know why they do it, but they do it, and these are the monsters that I'm talking about."
In the music video for "MONSTERS", a woman mourns the death of her husband. The clip was first teased by the band in July 2018, and released in June 2019.
