Josua Joubert - The Snail Lyrics

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
