The Lake - Denai Moore

Laid my pennies by the lake

Hoping the water could buy me fate

For all of my mistakes

That I have made

Laid out memories by the lake

Hoping that they could sail away

Away from my mind

There’s a piece of you left behind

I still see you there, out in the lake

Right in the middle where, it’s all faint

The less I care the more that you’ll fade

I still see you there out in the lake

Laid a letter by the lake

With all the worlds I want to say

And I know they’ll be no reply

But I’d still want you to know why

You’re sinking down, like a pebble in the lake

Like the ghosts of my past, that’s faded away

And now I’m left with nothing but a memory
