Lyrics : Creeping Up

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
No 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
No matter how slow
No 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
