## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'm checking my vitals, caught up in a cycle

Guess I'm addicted to the panic, I know

I'm self-destructive but I don't wanna feel nothing

Hold my demons close so I feel something

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, I know I hate it but

I just can't escape it, 'cause

[Chorus]

All my favorite monsters, they got fangs, got fangs

Close my eyes, and they come out to play, to play

I should be running away, running away, running away now

There's something about the pain, about the pain, makes me feel safe now

All my favorite monsters, they got fangs, got fangs

[Verse 2]

I know that it's twisted (twisted), the way that I'm living

I'm just paralyzed by fear like venom

Feel it under my skin (my skin), they start to creep in

Know I'm surrounded, here we go again

[Pre-Chorus]

Oh, I know I hate it but

I just can't escape it, 'cause

[Chorus]

All my favorite monsters, they got fangs, got fangs

Close my eyes, and they come out to play, to play

I should be running away, running away, running away now

There's something about the pain, about the pain, makes me feel safe now

All my favorite monsters, they got fangs, got fangs

[Bridge]

Fangs, fangs, fangs

(Fangs, fangs, fangs)

I can see their

Fangs, fangs, fangs

(Fangs, fangs, fangs)

All my favorite monsters, they got fangs, got fangs

Close my eyes, and they come out to play, to play

[Chorus]

All my favorite monsters, they got fangs (got fangs)

Got fangs (got fangs)

Close my eyes, and they come out to play (to play)

To play (to play)

I should be running away, running away, running away now

There's something about the pain, about the pain, makes me feel safe now

All my favorite monsters, they got fangs (fangs), got fangs

[Outro]

Fa-a-angs

Fa-a-angs
