Boogeyman by Psyopus Lyrics
[Various Voices]
Within my darkest crimes lie nursery rhymes
Read by its monsters and written by lies
All bedtime stories are just yours and mine
And only to be read at our story time
Read over and over and over and over
And over and over and over and over
And over and over and over and over
And over and over and over
[Brian Woodruff]
We echo to ourselves
Where no answer came
No one person has so may eyes
We are who we are
[Various Voices]
In a field caught alone, a virgin flower blooms
Among the weeds their dirty seeds rip petals doom
[Brian Woodruff]
We did not want to touch that monsters' game
[Various Voices]
Zip, zip, zip, I hate this
Zip, zip, and take a peek
Slip, slip, slip, I hate this
Slip your monster in the meek
[Brian Woodruff]
The picture strobes growing bright then fading away
We recall the feel of it
Wiry hair
Curious touches
Slow
Side to Side
Stop then start again
We recall the feel of it
We recall the feel of it
The picture strobes growing bright then fading away
[Various Voices]
Warning: free-for-all, hallway steps
Hide from eyes and monster breath
Hide behind doors that creak and moan
Don't be caught with your monster alone
[Brian Woodruff]
We should be dead
[Various Voices]
Kicked in the stomach, don't know why
Pushed down the stairs, don't ask why
Burned by an iron, don't know why
Tenfold lucky are those who die
[Brian Woodruff]
We hide behind doors
Never alone
We hide from the monster
[Various Voices]
Mommy, can you keep secrets when you sleep?
One for your conscience, one for his name
One for this little one
Whose name you will blame
[Brian Woodruff]
Who are we?
[Various Voices]
Kiss me as monsters do
Punch, choke, and yell, you too
Pinch me, I will too
Touch me, mirror, hell, I do
[Brian Woodruff]
We saw black
We saw flickers of black
[Various Voices]
Do little girls and little boys
Have such tales to tell?
Where secrets girls and secrets boys
Churn memories that yell?
Could little girls and little boys
Pronounce memories, taste?
Or do secrets girls and secrets boys
Vomit, shake, erase?
[Brian Woodruff]
We are young
We hold the pain deep for us all
Within my darkest crimes lie nursery rhymes
Read by its monsters and written by lies
All bedtime stories are just yours and mine
And only to be read at our story time
Read over and over and over and over
And over and over and over and over
And over and over and over and over
And over and over and over
[Brian Woodruff]
We echo to ourselves
Where no answer came
No one person has so may eyes
We are who we are
[Various Voices]
In a field caught alone, a virgin flower blooms
Among the weeds their dirty seeds rip petals doom
[Brian Woodruff]
We did not want to touch that monsters' game
[Various Voices]
Zip, zip, zip, I hate this
Zip, zip, and take a peek
Slip, slip, slip, I hate this
Slip your monster in the meek
[Brian Woodruff]
The picture strobes growing bright then fading away
We recall the feel of it
Wiry hair
Curious touches
Slow

Stop then start again
We recall the feel of it
We recall the feel of it
The picture strobes growing bright then fading away
