At the lakeshore where water is dark
It's deep, it's cold, it's terrifying
Whatever's in there is unknown
Except for the monster
The monster is there, it's palpable
It's the only real thing underwater
It's waiting, eager and patient
For the flesh to hit the water
Go on, step forward, go in
Let the skin be frostbitten
Bottom rocks sharp as blades
The water thickens with blood
Close your eyes and dive in
For you know you can't stay
Walk into the moist unknown
Surrender the mind to it
Can you feel it?
Monster eyes on you
In the cold wet dark
It's coming for you
