I have locked away the monster under the stairs
Exiled now for crimes against my life

Finally done because they did something unforgivable
Going against everyone, myself, instinct, society, sanity
We will be forever stared at for what they accomplished

It doesn’t matter that what they did
Ultimately saved a life

It doesn’t even matter that what they did
Was agreed upon by everyone

This one action has completely frightened me
I have locked away the monster under the stairs

It doesn’t matter that what they did
Was what I needed them to do for me
Because I was terrified of what I had to do

I have unlocked the door that holds the monster under the stairs
Because it saved my life when I truly needed it
