Trophies on my bedroom mantle never meant much to me
It was all to make you happy or something of the sort
Think I'll build a boat sail somewhere I can be myself
But who is that, who is that?

Son, it's not your fault, you are who you are
And I will lead you to where they won't make you small

Take me away where the monsters will play
Take me away where they'll never see my face
Take me away where the monsters will play
Take me away where they'll never see my face

The ocean lead me somewhere, the trees look like walls
I can hear the shouts and calls of creatures in the dark
So scared freak out, lay low to the ground
Looking for a clearing, I hear a voice from afar

Son, it's not your fault, you are who you are
And I will lead you to where they won't make you small

Take me away where the monsters will play
Take me away where they'll never see my face
Take me away where the monsters will play
Take me away where they'll never see my face

Every dream has an end, a plot with a twist
It's time to surrender, call it part of the plan
It's out of my hands
Swore I'd never be homesick but I am

Son, it's not your fault, you are who you are
And I will lead you to where they won't make you small

Take me away where the monsters will play
Take me away where they'll never see my face
Take me away where the monsters will play
Take me away where they'll never see my face
They'll never see my face
