Lake Fright Swim

Come on in the water feels fine

Let the temperature cool off your mind

But beware the fish below

Are known to try to chew off your toes

Try not to get to close

They are starving for human meat

They will chew up and eat you alive

So get ready to take a dive

It is fun but you won't come out alive

The bloody color in the lake

Was just a simple turn of fate

So take a chance and hop on in

The waters red and plenty delight

So won't you come swim with me tonight

I am sure you will enjoy

What's in store for your mind

When you get your bones will grind

The fish in here will change your outlook

Just look at me and what they took

Now no more can I see

No more false labeled empathy 

So come in now relax the pains of yours

And become a part of the shores
