quicksand

slow sinking feeling kills the mood you're conveying/
and it pulls me far down below it might be best if you go/
can it not wait and hope for the best/
will it not stop a while to rest/
I need to get up never mind cause I've done enough*
the world waits around but I keep slipping and losing ground/
do I not try so hard so good/
I can't keep changing just because you think I should*
said all I need to and you don't understand still/
wish you saw picture my mind eyes are deep and they're cynical/
one taken four more kills the pain healing that sore/
I've take what's left I took it all/
and now you won't let me forget*
stop you're talking down/
I lack the strength to sit or stand/
I lost my self confidence/
in the quicksand*
not now or ever/
sink slowly my treasure


tip

I gave it all I gave it up then/
I took it in and got enough but/
I try to cancel out/
whatever I can't laugh about*
so what does that say/
there can't be anyway/
I've done my worst and no one knows*
one more day to fool them all/
one more day to drop the ball/
one more day to fade away*
fill a head with sand just to make it better/
I have the chance to beat it in but I never/
I should have taken it right then*
one more day to fool them all/
one more day to drop the ball/
one more day to fade away*
now you've been taken/
you won't stop shaking/
embrace every minute/
you're all that'sleft in it/
it's not happening/
some other day you'll fool them all/
one more day to drop the ball/
one more day to fade away


shudder

so sad to everyone/
did occur to you/
wake up an empty shell/
someone to crawl into*
dead days refuse to dream/
the blanket still aslep/
concealing every flaw/
till you uncover me*
could it be that I'm fading far away straight out of it*
no truth I can confirm/
no truth that I can sense/
passing time I can't recall/
the truth it surfaces*
open eyes open heart/
open up and fall apart*
I'll be that burden that you bear
