There she lay,
\nStill today;
\nTrapped inside a body,
\nIn a bay.<\/p>\n
They bury her there,
\nHoping no one would say,
\n\u2018Who is the girl in the bay??\u2019<\/p>\n
There was no girl,
\nNo girl in that bay.
\nOnly a demon that lay,
\nLay asleep.
\nWaiting for her prey.<\/p>\n
She preys on the weak,
\nShe preys on the caring.<\/p>\n
So, if you see her be sure,
\nBe sure to leave her laying\u2026
\nLaying in the dirty swamp,
\nWhere demons like her belong.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
