<br />
I cannot wash it off;<br />
<br />
The Bruise, The Blood, The Sin<br />
Has left me with the thought<br />
Of broken dreams and shattered hearts,<br />
And all my wars unfought.<br />
I close my eyes for the dreams,<br />
Of a world that is my own.<br />
But the blood that ruins my eyes tells me<br />
That I can only hope. <br />
<br />
I cannot wash it off;<br />
<br />
The Boogeyman; He comes for Me;<br />
In the darkness I cannot see<br />
The Clank and Clunk of the Axe;<br />
Which he'll use to strike my back;<br />
Is all I hear;<br />
My only fear;<br />
I cannot stop; what I cannot see;<br />
The Boogeyman; He comes for Me!<br />
<br />
I cannot wash it off;<br />
<br />
I come face to face with my fear;<br />
My beating heart he only hears.<br />
I back up to the wall and cry:<br />
"Please. Oh, Please! I cannot die!"<br />
But he has so soul; no remorse for me<br />
As he raises his rusty Axe with glee.<br />
A Sneering Face;<br />
A Howling Laugh;<br />
He wants me dead, I know for fact.<br />
<br />
I cannot wash it off;<br />
<br />
As he slices through my skin with ease;<br />
He still completely ignores my pleas.<br />
As I scream; I kick and shout;<br />
As he ripped my insides out.<br />
The tearing skin; My beating heart,<br />
I knew I was dead from the start.<br />
I knew this would happen before it began;<br />
There is no running from the Bogeyman!<br />
<br />
I cannot wash it off;<br />
<br />
I cried out please;<br />
But he did not freeze.<br />
He still continued to murder me.<br />
<br />
I cannot wash it off;<br />
<br />
My heart pulsated within his grasp,<br />
The pain felt real; but I could not gasp.<br />
He wrung me dry, My blood ran out.<br />
I knew what came next, there was no doubt.<br />
He chopped off my Hands; And cut out my Tongue.<br />
And in a Treacherous tone he sung:<br />
"Those who Lie, I come for Thee"<br />
"Dealing punishment in the highest Degree."<br />
"A Cut and a Tear,"<br />
"A Snip and a Slice"<br />
"Everyone knows I have no Vice."<br />
"I take the prize without my pay,"<br />
"Because my name I will not convey."<br />
"I am Unknown."<br />
"I work alone."<br />
"My name you will not know."<br />
"I will tell you this although,"<br />
"I Am The Boogeyman."<br />
<br />
I cannot wash it off;<br />
<br />
The Blood; It stains and runs so deep,<br />
I cannot dream; I cannot weep.<br />
My life ends here,<br />
As my skin grows cold,<br />
And my eyes bleed red of blood so bold.<br />
The last thing I hear,<br />
The last thing I see,<br />
Is The Boogeyman staring down at me.<br />
He laughs out loud,<br />
A hissing grin,<br />
He knows only he can win.<br />
As he walks away,<br />
I begin to bleed out.<br />
I cannot scream, I cannot shout.<br />
The blood has stained my broken arms,<br />
my broken legs and broken heart.<br />
I cannot move,<br />
It can't be doffed.<br />
I cannot wash the blood stains off.
