Message Man - Bugaboo Lyrics

Let me tell you bout' my bugaboo
All the things your not welcome to, and
I don't owe you anything, to be fair I should probably charge you at the door

Not talking bout' the things making me lose my mind
Like the people with food who loud chew
Or the people speaking my name while my backs to you
Those are all just a waste of my time

I'm talking bout' you, people, culture the world
Follow your own truth, make your own word
You say love another but have you observed
Why do we get new day, it all seems absurd

Got a bugaboo, what does it mean to you
Need to talk about my problems so I'll open up to you
These are the reasons that I feel like a blank canvas
Who can paint the colors why I am so anxious

Sick of how we point the finger
We don't stick around but make sure we linger
When it's sink or swim is there time for manors
Sick knowing I already have the answer

When the flame is lit do we run inside and forget our wits
I know a few but not too many
They're hooligans and aren't that pretty
To peeps who only see faces to a pretty penny

Color me in, color me and
Gaze at my empty portraits
Come inside my vacant fortress
Color me in, color me and
Gaze at my empty portraits
Shade the space behind my orbits

Color me in, color me and
Gaze at my empty portraits
Come inside my vacant fortress
Color me in, color me and
Gaze at my empty portraits
Shade the space behind my orbits

If I got a little time left I got a few more bugaboos
They're deep inside, I try to hide, you'll need a guide
A side I hide, that I denied, my B- side
Deny Jekyll and Hyde

Don't turn a blind eye, I stay opened eyed
Cause the moment I ignore is the moment I don't know who I am anymore
Who better to endeavor and explore my rapport
Than A boy who was robbed of joy
Found a way to smother all the things that I enjoy
Not a person with a name to blame, except my name
Self awareness turned to pity, ruler of my city

A lot more bugaboos lie inside a frame
I point two fingers put my thumb in the air, take aim
Take care, in moment we're here,
In a day, in a minute, in a moment I might not be there
Those type of thoughts can tear
A hole in a picture of the future loved ones who care
Self loathing, narcissistic, say your selfish and sadistic
How do I find a meaning and a reason when I'm a statistic?

Got a bugaboo, he lives in me and you
Always speaking to me and always speaking to you
Stay away, I'm gonna rip out my heart
Lay a light out the window, so the dark won't feed my doubt

We see shadow, no glow
Run away to a beautiful meadow
With a sky to glow, you say hello
I'm shy, hide in an audio
I wanna stay outside, do you
Mind if I sit beside you, and
Spill the content of my mind to you
I wanna hide with you, can I hide with you?

Could you cover me like a canopy?
Cover all my anxiety
Could you set fire to my pounding brain
Overworking over thinking till I'm insane
I wanna glow I wanna sing, I wanna strain
But all my life I've believed in my biggest stain
Might be silly, might be vain but I've been trained
And you wouldn't get it, so why should I explain?

Color me in, color me and
Gaze at my empty portraits
Come inside my vacant fortress
Color me in, color me and
Gaze at my empty portraits
Shade the space behind my orbits

Color me in, color me and
Gaze at my empty portraits
Come inside my vacant fortress
Color me in, color me and
Gaze at my empty portraits
Shade the space behind my orbits
