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
