There’s a Grumpy Monster that lives inside of me
This monster is always hungry
Always restless
Always looking for something to do
Something to worry about and a problem here too
I’ve got so much on my plate – I just can’t remember it all
I’ve got tons to do and no time – make the call!
There’s a problem here – it needed fixing last year
I’m already far behind – I can’t keep ruining what’s mine!
There’s a list somewhere of all things I have to do
I can’t waste a minute let’s move! – (don’t know where to)
Like a hand on my back and a weight on my chest
Rushing and squirming – never doing my best
This could’ve been better, you dropped the ball on that
It’s alright just keep moving- you’re as dumb as a bat
There’s no hope there’s no time – no solutions anywhere
Crawl into a ball and fall into despair
Don’t breathe, don’t move, you’re on thin ice
You’re fucking it all up and you might wanna check your hair for lice
You’re breathing in mold, you’re spending too much money
You’ve only got one chance to get it right honey
What a joke what a mess – you could do so much better !
If only you could get your act together…
Fumble and fall
Stutter and bawl
You can’t do anything or much at all
Grumpy Monster,
You’ve really got a hold on me
Making life a misery…
When I listen to you, life’s a mess
I’m blind, I’m deaf – I confess
A pause, a hiccup, a breath or two
I come to my senses and break the taboo
Oh Grumpy Monster, I know you’re upset
There’s nothing to do and you can’t stand it
Nothing needs fixing there’s no problem here
You’re out of a job and you can’t seem to bear
Come here, come closer
Let’s get a look at you
You just need some lovin’ like everything too
I feel, I know, I sense your monstrosity
Your restless fear and false grandiosity
You’ve danced, you’ve dabbled, you’ve run amok
You got me to the point where I don’t give a fuck
But enough’s enough and that’s all there is to it
Gratitude, rest and kindness – you’ll be fluent
Come here, come here
No more running – let’s breathe
Let’s bring some sanity to this day please
I’ve burnt your lists and turned off the phone
Got nothing to do – except hear you moan
There’s nowhere to go, I’ve dropped it all
I’m gonna go slow even if I crawl
Let’s sit together get to know each other
Wrestle and fight or try to bite
Won’t matter at all, cuz I’ve hit a wall
It’s okay Grumpy Monster
Let’s swim in deep water
Not knowing what happens
Let’s stop all the barter
It’s not the end of the world
It’s not the end of time
We’re just here that’s all
You’re not even mine
Nothing is wrong
Not even you
All is well and you’re welcome here too
Step into the world of Everything is as it should be
The crud the mold the mess and the could be’s
