[Verse 1] You came through fog with heavy steps, A letter gripped, a soul in depths. Lakeview Hotel still waits the same, And I still wag — you play the game. Flashlight flickers, radio sings, I place the noise, adjust the strings. You think it’s fate — some ghostly task… But I’m the one beneath the mask. [Pre-Chorus] Since two-oh-one, you’ve danced my line, My favorite loop, my toy divine. Each scream, each sigh, I set the cue… And Pyramid? He’s hired too. [Chorus] I’m the woof behind your quest, Your guilt, your grief — I script the rest. You seek the truth in foggy lies, While I rewrite your last goodbyes. Maria smiles, then slips away, I change the script, she will obey. And when you fall, I start anew… Because this loop belongs to you. [Verse 2] Found photos left in walls and frames — You pause… “Was I here once?” — then fade. They’re hints I drop, a subtle clue, To show this dance is not brand new. You met Ed again, and Angela cried, But memories twist, and truths subside. You never ask, “Who pulls the threads?” It’s just a dog. Inside your head. [Pre-Chorus 2] That radio buzz, that static call — Each bark’s a beat you can't recall. I watch, I guide, I set the tone… And woof you deeper all alone. [Final Chorus] I’m the bark beneath your fate, The tail that loops each broken state. And fans who watch — they feel the proof, In every echoed photo truth. You’ll walk again through fog and flame, Forget the path, repeat the name. But I’ll be here, just out of sight… Your Goodest Boy. Each misty night. [spoken word] Another round, James? Woof! Let’s begin. [end]
