"Serial Killer" lyrics

When I was younger, I heard a myth about a serial killer
About how he would stalk the kids and put 'em in the water
He had no motive for what he did, it was only his instinct
And when all the children played, they were afraid of swimming

I went out to the lake today
There was no one there
I tried to hide my disappointment
I tried to hide my despair
I tried to hide my disappointment
'Cause in my mind, he's really there

When I was younger, someone said to me
Life would only get harder
But I couldn't really grasp it, if I only knew better
Not everything you hear as a kid ends up holding water
The things you're scared of don't really exist, like the serial killer

I went out to the lake today
There was no one there
I tried to hide my disappointment
I tried to hide my despair
I tried to hide my disappointment
'Cause in my mind, he's really there

He's really there
He's really there
He's really there
He's really there
He's really there
He's really there
In my mind, he's really there (He's really there)
In my mind, he's really there (He's really there)
In my mind, he's really there (He's really there)
In my mind, he's really there (He's really there)
