Boogieman Lyrics

They paint me into a corner with broad strokes of disdain

Misreading my intentions

The good that I do dismissed

Here we go again

Labeled the villain misunderstood

Alone I stand I've done all I could

My actions are twisted to look like evil

I'm left alone and confused

I'm not evil but I'll be your boogieman

Every move I make they see as a threat

Losing the translation

I won't fit the mold I refuse

Here we go again

Labeled the villain misunderstood

Alone I stand I've done all I could

My actions are twisted to look like evil

I'm left alone and confused

I'm not evil but I'll be your boogieman

Why can't they look inside and take some blame

They need introspection

It doesn't fit their story anti-hero

Here we go again

Labeled the villain misunderstood

Alone I stand I've done all I could

My actions are twisted to look like evil

I'm left alone and confused

I'm not evil but I'll be your boogieman

Caught in the game I just stand my ground

They're loud with their labels but I let it slide right off my back

I'll be the villain of the story that's fine with me

I know the truth

Here we go again

Labeled the villain misunderstood

Alone I stand I've done all I could

My actions are twisted to look like evil

I'm left alone and confused

I'm not evil but I'll be your boogieman
