Shadow's Everywhere (The Strange Events of Curdlequik Falls) the Musical

[JULIA MEYERS]: I crawl into my graveyard. I stand by freezing walls. I try to trust my instincts, As I attempt to enter ghastly halls. I see a face, it looks at me, and say to me “Im here” I look away, then run away, but tell myself not to fear. There are shadows on every window Ghosts in every door I cant trust where I am standing But of myself, am I sure? I look for signs of heaven But only find signs of hell I look into the mirror And the past is hell as well I know why I must die now. I know why I must fade. I must save my loving soul From the devil’s deathly toll. I know he’s getting closer I can feel it in the air God cast down your almighty hand Because there are shadows everywhere. I feel the pain. I hear the rain. I taste my death. I gasp for breath. My heart is beating. My soul is heating. My blood is boiling. My lungs are swelling. I walk into the graveyard And sit in a gory chair. And as I sit down, I look around. And see those shadows everywhere.
