Don't Squish Me
Intro
Verse 1
Woke up this morning, turned on the news
Got that low-down, systemic, panic-attack blues
Politicians screaming from a screen so high
They’ve got opinions on the way that I die
I don’t want a spotlight, don’t want a parade
Just trying to survive the mess they made.
Verse 2
People talk about "Pride" like it's a carnival prize
Like glitter and marching can hide the black eyes
I ain't feeling prideful, I ain't feeling shamed
I'm just tired of playing a game rigged and blamed
Survival is the baseline, breathing is the goal
Trying to keep intact what's left of my soul.
Verse 3
I’m just walking down the sidewalk, minding my own head
Just trying to make it home to my own bed
I ain't asking for a crown, I ain't asking for a throne
Just leave me alone in the marrow of my bone
I’m a bug on a windshield, everybody wants to rush
Looking down at my life like it's something to crush.
Bridge
You know...
I don't need a flag. I don't need a movement.
I just got one simple request.
Please... don't squish me.
Verse 4
So pour me a coffee, let the world spin fast
I'm just a quiet ghost trying to outlast
No grand revolution, no cape to unfold
Just another day of keeping out the cold.
Outro
Just trying to exist.
Just trying to breathe.
Please... don't squish me.
