Mayhem

You sleep with lights on

Though the monsters have gone

Your Mom doesn't know

And you sure don't show

But you can't be sure if they'll come back again

And you're scared of what she seems to call 'her friend'

And nobody tells you what to do

You're on your own, for all they care you move to Timbuktu

Can you peel off the past?

Oh no! Not me!

Not now, not later.

Oh why, why me?

Oh mayhem, oh mayhem!

And you toss and turn and stay awake all night

Oh mayhem, oh mayhem!

Toss and turn until the break of light

Oh mayhem, oh mayhem!

Nobody tells you what to do

You're on your own, for all they care you move to Timbuktu

Can you peel off the past?

The past

All the past

Oh no! Not me!

Not now and not later.

Oh why, why me?

Oh mayhem, oh mayhem!

Take a load off the back of your mind

And just say it, just say it

I'm just saying
