Creeping Up Songtext

von Babyland

I'm creeping up from behind
I'm closing in on mine
I'm holding out for my first
I'm living up to my word
I'm staring down at the pride
I never could seem to find
Now matter how long it takes
I swear I won't go away
I say that because I don't want to sit back
And leave the day to rot
Leave the days to fester
I need to keep up the pace
Now matter how slow
Now matter what's at stake

There's no reason I can live with
To stop progression and end my illness
I am sick inside at least I admit this
A race continues and I can't ignore it
I hear the sound of each and every step
Breath, tick, and rest
Another hash mark on a shrinking timeline
The computations spit surrender

Put one foot in front of the other

The fading sidelines
I'm crawling straight ahead
Beyond the standstill
I know I can't compare
But if the scale is sliding
Then the smallest grade could count
And the long shot we embrace
Just might be carried out
So I won't stop
I'm creeping up on my time
