If everything is going my way Then why does it suck so much to be Eric Ritter today? I'm like the captain of the football team And every girl who's someone in my school, they wanna suck my dick or sleep with me I get big props, and high fives For them quarter back sneaks from the 30 yard line I never fuck with drugs, I only drink for the buzz I can handle my liquor, and my daddy is a judge And he looks out for me But what about the prom queen? It's been at least two weeks since she's been heard from or seen Susan Casada, her momma is a lawyer and her daddy is a doctor Her picture's in my locker Her body's in the lagoon, underneath the lily pads Glow from the moon, dark watery tomb Consumed the body, then pulled her below I wrapped her in my letterman coat and slit her throat Then I let go Loudest splash I ever heard And from that day forward I haven't spoken a word
And from that day forward i haven't spoken a word......[repeated again distorted]
[Chorus x2] The marsh lagoon So many wanna dump their dead in here Only the water Only the waters know what stories they bare
[Monoxide Child] My name's not important You never thought you'd see the day when you would see me again But now I caught you I've been abused, confused but uplifted So I choose to keep this inside but that shifted to a hate that'd keep me alive Untill your heart stops Then padlock your time box and dropped it in a black marsh To Hell and back is where my mind has been And once upon a time I had a friend I thought I really could confide in Flashbacks of the touching Uncomfortable feeling Can't sleep much at night I'm crawling the ceiling Got me feeling like I'm sick and depressed Cause everybody that I told, they just layed it to rest But now I'm 25 And I'm sick of all the talking Now I'm stalking you, waiting by the door that you'll be walking through No disguise so you can recognize my face And all the shame and disgrace will be the reason I dismantle you I handle you like a candle Break you in half and then I laugh at you Soak you in gas and make you flammable I burned the body and I gathered the ash And then I sprinkle the lagoon every time I get the chance
[Chorus x2] The marsh lagoon So many wanna dump their dead in here Only the water Only the waters know what stories they bare
[Violent J] I got dark secrets Eventually I told everybody One day I'ma snap and leave a crime scene bloody But they only think I'm playing I'm just a Dave from Donut Hut They always like "What up Dave Nut?" when I show up But that doesn't really bother me I suppose Yet there's a darkness inside of me Which eagerly grows When I was younger I murdered off some neighborhood squirrels And this abandoned garage was like my own private world Now it's "Honey, I had a bad dream again" I'm tripping Demons eating me alive and burning within I gotta feed it I roll down another dark street I'm trying to find something alive so I can smother out it's heartbeat I'm thinking a hooker You think I'm bullshitting? I reach for my leathers, but I only find my wife's mittens in the glove box Circle some blocks I pick the chick up, I let her suck the dick up, before I cut her neck up She kicked for a minute, not putting much in it I never thought I'd get this mad I'm glad I did it, I admit it Feel so much better, a neck wetter, a throat shredder I got blood on my sweater and I better not get a head, of myself The first matter is disposal of the body I found the perfect spot out past my Uncle Marty's It's some hidden lagoon where it be dark all the time I dumped her there and got on with mine
[Chorus x2] The marsh lagoon So many wanna dump their dead in here Only the water Only the waters know what stories they bare
[Violent J] Only the trees Only the fish Only the bugs And only the water Truly really know What happened that night When right went wrong That's how they got there [Chorus repeats till the end]
