Peach Lyrics

Life is the reason

I'm still holding ground

Life is imperfect bodies and perfect sounds



Death is in season, and it's pushing me 'round

And 'round and 'round

A bottle cap, a rusted crown



When one pushes up, the other pulls me down

And I don't know if I'll get up, if I'll get out

One pushes up, the other pulls me down

And I don't know if I'll get up, if I'll get out



This one makes you big, in a cruel world

This one makes you small, in a lonely world

This one takes it all away, all the pain

But I'm not giving up

Not today, not today



There's life in this tunnel, we're just hanging around

Please, if you see my hand, just pull me out

'Cause there's death in this tunnel

Still hanging on me, still begging on me



'Cause when one pushes up, the other pulls me down

And I don't know if I'll get out, if I'll be found

This one makes you big, what a cruel world

This one makes you small, feel that lonely world

This one takes it all the way, but I'll stay

'Cause I won't give you up

Not today, I won't

I won't give you up
