Oakley Creek Lyrics by The Beths

2024

[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
[Chorus]
Leave me here by the bones
I’m only here to feed mosquitos
Only skin, only blood
A little less now than there was
A little less now than there was
[Verse 3]
I still go, it’s been a year now
Pass the chain link fence that keeps out
With the bridges all still blown out
You can’t amble anymore
Overgrown a bit and I take off my shoes to cross it
Find the current has forgotten
How it felt to break the world
[Pre-Chorus]
If I fall
I’ll fall in
Soaking wet
Fallen pride
Till we’re laughing
[Chorus]
Leave me here
Let me go
I’m only here to feed mosquitos
Only skin, only blood
A little less now than there was
[Chorus]
Just leave me here
On my own
I only breathe to feed the egos
Only flesh, only blood
I’m letting go of what I’m not
A little less now than there was
A little less now than there was
