Monster
It isn't always pretty, what needs to pour out
 The drops refuse the willing spout
 They want a rose without a thorn
 They want beauty without scorn
 Their monster lies beneath their bed
 Love unheard, love unsaid
 Afraid that ugly will roar out
 Afraid their crush will fill with doubt
 But the dirty slimes and schemes
 How to steal away the dreams
 Like a pot does broil
 Monsters hide, looking loyal
 On the face, all is dandy
 This is kind of like a candy
 Sugar seems all sweet and fine
 Like a woman drinking wine
 Then betrayal strikes
 Nothing can be done
 The monster pops the bed of sheets
 Eats up all your favorite meats
 The monster, you’re secret
 Does not care if you allow
 So … Quick! 
 Open the spout and 
 Pour out the drops
 Before your monster 
 Calls the cops
