Lyrics Failing Grade - The Creepshow

Failing Grade

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
We’ve seen this all before!
There’s no one else but me to
pull us — from the brink (brink)
You’ll see (see) — the truth (truth) — compared
to this mess you’ve made
Maybe (made) — someday you’ll
wake up from this fantasy
And then — it will be too late for
you to elevate this failing grade
There’s no one else but me to
pull us — from the brink (brink)
You’ll see (see) — the truth (truth) — compared
to this mess you’ve made
Maybe (made) — someday you’ll
wake up from this fantasy
And then — it will be too late for
you to elevate this failing grade
