The Creaky Step

from The Creaky Step by Alex George

lyrics

Something is creeping in, stepping over the creaky step, weeping in you cereal and gasping for breath. I will always be your creepy friend.

All these books are ghost of things you used to say:
'Nothing's ever perfect, but everything's okay'

Something is ruining everything, erasing space on this dusty playstation. Fears and fan-fictions trapped in time forever. And taught to love through textbooks until we're dead.

I'm so fucking dependent on this black machine: it's my thought collector, you're my tekken tag team. So take all of my punches, 'cause I'm just bones and skin.
(Eyes refuse to open, like when you need to stay in the dream 'cause you were talking to a stranger that you swore you used to know)

(Standing on my hands but my arms disintegrate away and I'm left spiraling out into space).
Strike me down, I won't feel a thing.

I swear I'm okay.
I swear I'm okay with everything.

Suddenly I see everything through your narrow eyes and into this static tv screen. Just stay a few more seconds on this withering park bench before this moment descends into memory. I'll give you all the answers if you let me do the maths; it's just logic, a simple equation to find the reciprocal of everything.

So The Great Gatsby's dead. Nothing will ever be the same.
