Creep Lyrics

The wind cracked the branches

Of our old oak tree

Carry home the pieces

And the petals back to me

Mystifying composure

In the shadows of your face

Tell me now my good friend

What memory you'd replace

Connected all your progress

To the road back home

Take a lesson from this

You and sparrows, all alone

Lay your head down a minute

You deserve a rest tonight

You came to tell me a story

But it's all a lie, lie, lie

Sold all you could carry

To the place underneath your bed

I lost what you buried

But the pain for me you left

Solidified my worries

Into hardened truths

Broken pieces of this

Lost their way along the loop

We can go 'round another

Hour or so my dear tonight

But if you choose to listen

To the lies that creeped inside

That's fine

I'm here but I won't fight
