Song Description

Bed Down With A Monster conjures desperate settings of a castaway stranded alone in the ocean. The lyrics set to an upbeat hip-hop/dance beat convey a sense of isolation and anxiousness as the urgency in vocalist/producer James Campbell's' voice propel the song forward.

Lyrics

I'm in, I'm out, I'm in, I'm In and out of my breath
The stars all break on the waves like glass held tight to my neck
But when the feelings gone
You get the urgency of time bombs ticking
That kind of currency don't need another minute no

Were not safe here anymore
Get down on the floor
No were not brave here anymore
No sail or shore
So what you waiting for

Any day now
For all your words can afford
Any day now
Just keep rowing

I kick and scream, I fight my way back to the surface
Shocks me the smell of the blood that paints and becomes the sea
But when the feelings gone
You get the urgency of time bombs ticking
That kind of currency don't need another minute no

Were not safe here anymore
Get down on the floor
No were not brave here anymore
No sail or shore
Were not safe here anymore
With every wave
that swallows me whole
pushes me further away.

Your blue eyes too far away for questioning
That last taste of who's to blame
Applaud yourself most of all, a toast to us all
Drink up and close your eyes to bed down with a monster
