Monologue (Where You Once Walked)

There's a lake on the side of town

Where darkness seems to flow

And those that test the waters

Get caught in the undertow

They say that if you stand too close

Then something drags you in

And even if you don't go down

It stays under the skin

And I've gone too far

Something you might know

The banks that dry and brittle

And stand seven foot tall

And even if you make the climb

You'll never make the fall

And I've gone too far

Something you might know

Construct new shadows

With the train of thought you've set upon

Adjust the choice of tone

Your inner voice has settled on

I’ve got a feeling that you’ve been here

I’ve got a feeling that you know

So far we go

And the book you were searching for

They say it helps to know

The secrets and the whispers

Of those that lie below

And I've gone too far

Something you might know

Construct new shadows

With the train of thought you've set upon

Adjust the choice of tone

Your inner voice has settled on

I’ve got a feeling that you’ve been here

I’ve got a feeling that you know

So far we go

Dead drag the living down

Not by the feet but by the crown

Like day and night but not today

Where you once walked, you will lay
