Oakley Creek The Beths

[Verse 1]
There’s a creek I would walk to when my house felt like a locked room
Lean on old wooden bridges watch the eels playing cool
I could walk a little further down the dirt path on the shoulder
To the biggest waterfall my city limits could produce

[Pre-Chorus]
Boy it fell
Kept on falling
Biting down
Cutting rock
Slow erosion

[Chorus]
Leave me here on the stone
I’m only here to feed mosquitos
Only skin, only blood
A little less now than there was

[Verse 2]
In January ‘23 the creek became a raging sea
A great torrential flood that rippеd the bridges from the basе
The soft slope of the valley ravaged, cracked, and wounded badly
Fallen giants breathing heavily across the severed track

[Pre-Chorus]
They fell
Stayed fallen
Roots exposed
Reaching high
Something’s growing
