C F
[Verse]
C There's a creek I would walk to F When my house felt like a locked room Am Lean on little wooden bridges F Watch the eels playing cool C I could walk a little further F Down the dirt path on the shoulder Am F To the biggest waterfall my city limits could produce
[Pre-chorus]
Dm Boy, it fell Em F Kept on falling Dm Em F Biting down, carving rock, slow erosion
[Chorus]
G F Lay me here on the stone G F I'm only here to feed mosquitoes G F Only skin, only blood G F A little less now than there was
[Verse]
C In January '23 F The creek became a raging sea Am A great torrential flood that ripped F The bridges from the banks C The soft slope of the valley F Ravaged, cracked and wounded badly Am Fallen giants breathing heavily F Across the severed track
[Pre-chorus]
G They fell F Stayed fallen G Roots exposed, reaching high F Something's growing
[Chorus]
G F Lay me here, by the bones G F I'm only here to feed mosquitoes G F Only skin, only blood G F A little less now than there was G F A little less now than there was

[Verse]
C I still go, it's been a year now F Past the chain link fence that keeps out Am With the bridges all still blown out F You can't amble anymore C Overgrown, abandoned F I take off my shoes to cross and Am Find the current has forgotten F How it felt to break the world
[Pre-chorus]
G And if I fall F I'll fall in G F Soaking wet, ruined pride, Tui laughing
[Chorus]
G F So leave me here, let me go G F I'm only here to feed mosquitoes G F Only skin, only blood G F A little less now than there was just G F Leave me here, on my own G F I only breathe to feed the ego G F Only flesh, only blood C F I'm letting go of what I'm not C F A little less now than there was C F A little less now than there was
