Failing Grade - The Creepshow

Don’t flinch!

I won’t think twice to

call your bluff

And this time I won’t be dragged

through the wreckage and flood

We’ve seen this all before!

There’s no one else but me to

pull us — from the brink

You’ll see — the truth — compared

to this mess you’ve made

Maybe — someday you’ll

wake up from this fantasy

And then — it will be too late for

you to elevate this failing grade

I know it frightens you to finally

see the truth.

(That love, hate and anguish was only a waste of time.)

But if you only know the vice she had on you.

(her grip on your swift decline.)

A new chance to exercise our common

grudge.

A clean slate a promise forged on the fire in blood.

We’ve seen this all before!

There’s no one else but me to

pull us — from the brink

You’ll see — the truth — compared

to this mess you’ve made

Maybe — someday you’ll

wake up from this fantasy

And then — it will be too late for

you to elevate your game and save this failing grade
