lyrics

They took us through the woods
To where the cabin once stood
So far outside of the camp
The wood so black looked damp
Now, Lona died in the fire
Trapped alone in her pyre
No one out to deny her of sleep

Down at Lona's cabin on the week
No floorboards to make that creak
No floorboards to bring you down or down
The grounds are haunted by her ghost
They're collapsed and charred through most
Where no one is around

Flickering reflection on the lake
Embers fall gently on my face
Haunted by that ghost when I slept
So sure I would wake there yet
Lona died in that fire
Trapped alone in her pyre
No one out to deny her of sleep

Down at Lona's cabin on the week
No floorboards to make that creak
No floorboards to bring you down or down
The grounds are haunted by her ghost
They're collapsed and charred through most
Where no one is around, don't make a sound

Lona had it easy: she burned up in the flames
If I had the choice to die again, I'd choose to be with that dame
My mind is always dripping, wet with soggy thoughts
I close my eyes and wake up where the wooden cabin rots

It's gone for good
The camp as empty as the woods
I wish I could remember how to feel scared
But it's hard to tell if she was ever there
If Lona died in that fire
Trapped alone in her pyre
No one was out to deny her of sleep
For years and years it lies
Empty, dormant inside
Finally I can close my eyes and sleep

Down at Lona's cabin on the week
No floorboards to make that creak
No floorboards to bring you down or down
The grounds are haunted by her ghost
They're collapsed and charred through most
But at least she didn't drown like me
