Bogeyman

(album: Take Back Your Voice - 2022)

Most days I get up start to work
Cross the items off my mental list
Chase pay do the job put out fires
Feel productive like I should exist
But sometimes I wake up stuck in my room
I can't shake the thoughts of impending doom

My bogeyman is not a villain creeping 'round my home
My bogeyman is not an agent spying through my phone
He's lurking in my mind, he can surface anytime
Compel me to descend to hell alone

Now back to my life, to my work
To pretending it will be okay
Not frown, maybe smile, even laugh
Sense of humor gets me through the day
But behind my smile I'm prepared to cry
The king party pooper is standing by

My bogeyman is not a villain creeping 'round my home
My bogeyman is not an agent spying through my phone
He's lurking in my mind, he can surface anytime
Compel me to descend to hell alone

My bogeyman, oh oh oh
My bogeyman, oh oh oooh, oh oh oh

My bogeyman is not a villain creeping 'round my home
My bogeyman is not an agent spying through my phone
He's lurking in my mind, he can surface anytime
Compel me to descend to hell alone

My bogeyman, oh oh oh
My bogeyman, oh oh oooh, oh oh oh

My bogeyman is not a villain creeping 'round my home
My bogeyman is not an agent spying through my phone
He's lurking in my mind, he can surface anytime
Compel me to descend to hell alone

I can't move fast enough, can't get far enough
Can't make a clean getaway
And I can't hide anywhere 'cause he's always there
Laughing to my dismay

My bogeyman is not a villain creeping 'round my home
My bogeyman is not an agent spying through my phone
He's lurking in my mind, he can surface anytime
Compel me to descend to hell alone

My bogeyman, oh oh oh
My bogeyman, oh oh oh
My bogeyman, oh oh oooh, oh oh oh
