[Intro]
   

[Verse 1]
             
There’s a cree

              
k I would walk

              
 to when my ho

              
use felt like 

  
a locked room
         
Lean on little

              
 wooden bridge

             
s, watch the e


els playing co

ol
             
I could walk a

              
 little furthe

           
r down the dir


t path on the 

shoulder
         
To the biggest

              
 waterfall my 

       
city limits co

uld produce

[Pre-Chorus]
      
Boy it fell
  
 Kept on falli

ng
      
Biting down
N.C.
Cutting rock
 
 Slow  erosion

[Chorus]
        
Lay me here on

      
 the stone
        
I’m only here 

           
to feed mosqui


tos
       
Only skin, onl

   
y blood
             
A little less 

              
now than there

 
 was

[Verse 2]
             
In January ‘23

     
 the creek bec

ame a raging s

ea
         
A great torrеn

              
tial flood tha

             
t ripped the b


ridges from th

е banks
             
The soft slope

              
 of the valley

           
 ravaged, crac


ked, and wound

ed badly
         
Fallen giants 

              
breathing heav

     
ily across the

 severed track

[Pre-Chorus]
       
They fell



Stayed fallen
      
Roots exposed
N.C.
Reaching high
       
  Something’s 


growing

[Chorus]
        
Lay me here by

     
 the bones
         
I’m only here 

/         
to feed mosqui


tos
        
Only skin, onl

  
y blood
             
A little less 

              
now than there

 
 was
             
A little less 

              
now than there

 
 was

[Solo]
   
     

[Verse 3]
        
I still go, it

’s been a year

 now
         
Past the chain

 link fence th

at keeps out
         
With the bridg

es all still b

lown out
          
You can’t ambl


e anymore
             
Overgrown a bi

             
t and I take o


ff my shoes to

 cross it
         
Find the curre

nt has forgott

en
       
How it felt to

 break the wor

ld

[Pre-Chorus]
       
If I fall


    
I’ll fall in
        
Soaking wet
N.C.
Fallen pride
 
Tui laughing

[Chorus]
         
Leave me here

/
       
Let me go
         
I’m only here 

/         
to feed mosqui


tos
       
Only skin, onl

   
y blood
             
A little less 

              
now than there


 was

[Chorus]
              
Just leave me 


here
      
On my own
        
I only breathe

            
 to feed the e


gos
       
Only flesh, on

   
ly blood
             
I’m letting go

            
 of what I’m n


ot
             
A little less 

              
now than there


 was
             
A little less 

              
now than there


 was
