The Snail
I wonder if you think this is Hell
Little snail bears the weight of his shell
Misplaced and far away from help
Pain belied by the size of his trail
Just one day away from your meal
You'll never make it, at least that's how you feel
Desperate to escape, you cut a deal
Ditch the shell and head for the hills
Heaven knows you gotta shake the shell
Heaven knows you gotta shake the shell
Heaven knows
So don't disturb this grave
What have you done?
I won't stay the same
And I won't run
These dreams will break your heart
Until they sail, sail away
They're gunning for an answer now
Will I follow suit or stand around
Big dreams, tearing at the seams
Let's carry on, let's bring the house down
Self-esteem beings to implode
Against the stream, sensing the load
I fly by the snail and I wave him hello
Welcome to the world where we don't know
Heaven wants you to wish them well
Heaven wants you to wish them well
Heaven knows
So don't disturb this grave
What have you done?
I won't stay the same
And I won't run
These dreams will break your heart
Until they sail, sail away
It's okay, yeah it's gonna be alright
Look at this cruel fight, consuming your life
You start to lose sight of why you sing
You start to lose sight of all the good things
Of all the good things
Of all the good things
You start to lose sight of why you sing
You start to lose sight of all the good things
Little snail bears the weight of his shell
Misplaced and far away from help
Pain belied by the size of his trail
Just one day away from your meal
You'll never make it, at least that's how you feel
Desperate to escape, you cut a deal
Ditch the shell and head for the hills
Heaven knows you gotta shake the shell
Heaven knows you gotta shake the shell
Heaven knows
So don't disturb this grave
What have you done?
I won't stay the same
And I won't run
These dreams will break your heart
Until they sail, sail away
They're gunning for an answer now
Will I follow suit or stand around
Big dreams, tearing at the seams
Let's carry on, let's bring the house down
Self-esteem beings to implode
Against the stream, sensing the load
I fly by the snail and I wave him hello
Welcome to the world where we don't know
Heaven wants you to wish them well
Heaven wants you to wish them well
Heaven knows
So don't disturb this grave
What have you done?
I won't stay the same
And I won't run
These dreams will break your heart
Until they sail, sail away
It's okay, yeah it's gonna be alright
Look at this cruel fight, consuming your life
You start to lose sight of why you sing
You start to lose sight of all the good things
Of all the good things
Of all the good things
You start to lose sight of why you sing
You start to lose sight of all the good things
