Squeeze Lyrics

I loved a girl who died, but I forgot her name

I remember why I cried, but I forgot the pain

I remember how they lied

I guess some shit will never change

Except for me. Rest in peace, to yesterday

And I remember how I would harvest some hope

Out of that darkness and cope

Found that regardless of scope, I was starting to grow

And though I harbored the horrors of hardship often

I could have bartered my soul instead my heart got exposed

So until, my coffin is low know I won't forget myself

Before they get a chance to judge me, know I vet myself

They used to say I'm crazy that I need to get some help

I took one look at everything in the world and helped myself

I remember feeling taxed like tomorrow seemed borrowed

I was driven to pay dues like a car note

I put enough in that pot, it's time to collect

I'll snatch the penny from your thoughts

Here's a tissue for your sorrow

Launching missiles at tomorrow, at war with today

I find comfort in the sword that is the warrior's way

Because if you let shit weigh you down

You'll find that you're in the way

I'll lift them up above the morbid decay

Who's getting more from the day

I squeeze every last breath out of my chest my crest

Too deep for tattoos, strength beyond the flesh

Stress means that you're blessed, death means you're alive

The rest is just a test, those depths means you could rise

I loved a girl who died, but I forgot her name

I remember why I cried, but I forgot the pain

I remember how they lied

I guess some shit will never change

Except for me. Rest in peace, to yesterday

I loved a girl who died, but I forgot her name

I remember why I cried, but I forgot the pain

I remember how they lied

I guess some shit will never change

Except for me. Rest in peace, to yesterday

I remember, how the beats knocked and the words shook

The truth burns, like when you first cook

Some would drop gems like the worst crook

And so I copped pens, pain in my first hook

Now they crop the lens, fake at first look

So afraid to be flawed, they disguise it as vanity. It's insanity

When cowardice is all that remains of your humanity that's profanity

I tell myself over time that we'll improve it

But I turn on the radio, and I can't find music

Turn on the news, there's barely any news kid

Just champagne glasses on asses

Meanwhile I'm in the mix where shit actually happens

Feels like the world is designed to turn the passionate passive

I swear my boy would have been a leader in a different time

Now he's zoned out and defeated by dinnertime

I loved a girl who died, but I forgot her name

I remember why I cried, but I forgot the pain

I remember how they lied

I guess some shit will never change

Except for me. Rest in peace, to yesterday

I loved a girl who died, but I forgot her name

I remember why I cried, but I forgot the pain

I remember how they lied

I guess some shit will never change

Except for me. Rest in peace, to yesterday

To the kid hiding under the covers hearing his mother

Screaming at his bum father on the phone, I got you

To the ignorant idiot rhyming it not living it

Whole style illegitimate, my bad, I'm not you

I was raised by a boombox that boomed

While watching the mistakes of a few toxic dudes

As our lives fell apart right before me. The story

Is so commonplace somehow my pain is boring

But I need you to hold on, and grow strong

They say life is short, fuck that, it's so long

That after a mistake, it still goes on, and forgets it

Best to keep it moving like a shepherd

Cause like a record, cycles repeat

But chapters end fast like Michael's defeat

On the brink of starvation, you're liable to eat

Sit upon the throne, you might lose your seat

So I keep that in mind as I grind and recall

The path that I took here. The climbs and the falls

The setbacks, I nearly bailed and said F that

But life turns from flop to river kid, bet that

I loved a girl who died, but I forgot her name

I remember why I cried, but I forgot the pain

I remember how they lied

I guess some shit will never change

Except for me. Rest in peace, to yesterday

I loved a girl who died, but I forgot her name

I remember why I cried, but I forgot the pain

I remember how they lied

I guess some shit will never change

Except for me. Rest in peace, to yesterday
