lyrics
Squish
By Shadow Estate
(verse)
The clock is creeping by
While I suffocate
And then when I escape
It’s just so fucking late
Each day the pile grows
More stress lands on my back
I’ve tried to push on through
To keep the train on track
(chorus)
I’ve gotta get out of here
Drive off into the sunset
Feel the wind blast through my hair
Remember I’m not dead yet
I’m gonna reclaim my life
Take back the steering wheel
Won’t let myself be ground
Under a corporate heel
(verse)
When I was just a kid
At my mother’s knee
They said if I worked hard
I could be anything
And when mom herself was young
She learned the same stuff
Those who struggle to get by
Must not work hard enough
(chorus)
I’ve gotta get out of here
Leave this degrading grind
Disappear into the woods
Before I lose my mind
I’ve gotta stop the hemmorhaging
Take a moment, take a breath
Otherwise it won’t be long
Before there’s nothing left
(bridge)
I wanna feel the sand squish
Between my toes
Find the quiet in the woods
Where the sunrise grows
Dig my hands into the art
That stirs my mind
I know there’s more out there
For me to find
More life to find
More love to find
(solo)
(verse)
I hate spending so much time
Just trying to pay my bills
Just to keep on treading water
Perpetually unfulfilled
This can’t be all there is
There’s so much I want to do
So much joy I haven’t tasted
Need to breathe in something true
(chorus)
We were born for more than this
Cruel, incessant grind
Everyone needs room to breathe
We deserve some peace of mind
You are worth more than your work
More than productivity
There is value in our peace
Set one another free
