[Verse 1]

My-my mind is just a thorn in my side

I feel lost and insecure when I stare into my eyes

I'm alright, just the unfortunate type

I got the breath on my last cigarette deep inside

You pulled me down, bring the skeleton out and I

Can't let him down once I let him out

There's something brewing, yeah, it's screwing me up

A million other voices saying keep him locked up, 'cause

[Pre-Chorus]

I keep the monster locked in a closet

I keep the monster locked in a closet

I keep the monster

[Chorus]

I'm just a headcase

Fucking me up

I've got some dead weight filling my lungs

I've got my head straight in front of a gun

You think i'm crazy, baby, I've had enough 'cause I'm a

[Verse 2]

You're terrified trying to change my psyche

I'm like a marionette when you cut my ties

Feels like there's something living under my skin

I feel like I'm a loser when i'm letting 'em in

You pulled me down, bring the skeleton out and I

Can't let him down once I let him out

There's something brewing, yeah, it's screwing me up

A million other voices saying keep him locked up, 'cause

[Pre-Chorus]

I keep the monster locked in a closet

I keep the monster

[Chorus]

I'm just a headcase

Fucking me up

I've got some dead weight filling my lungs

I've got my head straight in front of a gun

You think i'm crazy, baby, I've had enough 'cause I'm a

[Bridge]

I used to think i was a kid with the rage

Until i locked him in a closet, told him "try to behave"

I'm sick of saying sorry for the things that I've said

So I'll become the monster living under your bed

I've spent my personality to watch how it ends

I act like I'm a poser 'cause i like to pretend

I don't know if i'll start breathing again

Monster in the closet is my best friend

I used to think i was a kid with the rage

Locked him in a closet, told him "try to behave"

I don't know if I'm breathing again

Monster in the closet is my best friend

[Chorus]

I'm just a headcase (fucking me up)

I've got some dead weight filling my lungs

I've got my head straight in front of a gun

You think i'm crazy, baby, I've had enough 'cause I'm a

Headcase

I'm just a headcase

Yeah I'm a headcase

I think i'm crazy, baby, I've had enough 'cause I'm a
