Boogeyman Lyrics by Missing

0

"my mommy always said there were no monsters, no real ones...but there are"

No lilypads for mommy
The jaws that dragged you down
And as you blew your life away
Were you surprised he'd been around?

The marks of Camels and cowboys
Circles of your pain
And as he beat your life away
Were you surprised he bore her name?

He's what you know
He's what you fear
Who needs hell when he's already here

He's not where you think
In your closet beneath your bed
When you see through the lies
That they've always said
Because the lights won't chase him
And the covers won't save you
By the time you see his face
He's already got you

Hush little baby don't you cry momma's gonna sing you a lullaby

Gunshot ripped through your playground
Screaming as you fall
And as you bled your life away
Were you surprised he was so small?

He's what you know
He's what you fear
Who needs hell when he's already here

He's not where you think
In your closet beneath your bed
When you see through the lies
That they've always said
Because the lights won't chase him
And the covers won't save you
By the time you see his face
He's already got you

Sometimes grownups even fear his name
As your sickness grows
And as they blame your life away
Were you surprised he killed so slow?

He's twisted, burning metal
He's cold, deep water
He's a tightly clenched fist
He's a bullet, he's your mother
He's an animal, he is fire
He is hunger, he's disease
He is always the last thing
That a child ever sees

Monster!
Monster!
Monster!
“mommy!"
