The Beths

Mosquitoes
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 Boy it fell Kept on falling Biting down Cutting rock Slow erosion Leave me here on the stone I'm only here to feed mosquitos Only skin, only blood A little less now than there was In January '23 the creek became a raging sea A great torrential flood that ripped the bridges from the base The soft slope of the valley ravaged, cracked, and wounded badly Fallen giants breathing heavily across the severed track They fell Stayed fallen Roots exposed Reaching high Something's growing Letras de canciones 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 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 If I fall I'll fall in Soaking wet Fallen pride Till we're laughing Leave me here Let me go I'm only here to feed mosquitos Only skin, only blood A little less now than there was 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 From Letras Mania
