Lake of the Facade

(hummmm-mmmmm) Crept down the stairs,

slipped on my shoes Quietly escaping all the family blues This lake

trip is a drag,

nothing here to do But I met a boy named Kyle and

he's looking like a view My friends back home are laughing having

a blast While I'm escaping shadows,

running, moving fast Heading to the dock,

climbing in the boat On the pitch-black water,

keeping it afloat

Underneath the branches, where the willows weep

Calling out his name,

secrets we will keep

(Kyle,

hello?)

(shhh) He's lounging on the rock,

flashing me a smile He says we shouldn't wake them,

stay with me a while

Oh, a perfect summer night under the full moon He thinks he's

got a prize, ending way too soon

But there's something in the dark,

shifting in the deep (yeah)

I'm the nightmare that you meet when you fall asleep

Sitting side-by-side, he holds onto my hand Thinking he's the player,

got it fully planned He's looking in my eyes,

trying to distract While his boys are underwater,

waiting to attack But his skin starts to ripple,

trying to hold the shape Little does he know,

there is no escape I see the monster in him,

and I start to grin Because he doesn't know the beast he's

letting in (ahhhh)

Let go of restraint,

let the change complete (hahaha) You thought I was the prey,

but I've got to eat

Eyes wide, gasping, swallow you whole Now the lake is empty,

and I took your soul

Rowing back to shore,

under the

fading light

(hummmm-mmmmm-hmmm) Just a quiet

girl

on a summer night (shhh)
