Quicksand (instrumental)

Sinking down, holding my breath
To count the standing of time
I will drown in the distorted sounds
Of the world passing me by

Terrified gasps of the past
At last I'm struggling to move
Exhausted to get through
As I look above, the gap has closed
Holding my out-stretched hand, I know it's the end

I've been caught in Quicksand, Quicksand again
There's nowhere to go, With no undertow
I've been caught in Quicksand, Quicksand
There's nowhere to go, Lost in the overflow

Buried deep in my mind I know
This helplessness stems from carelessness
When the earth wraps her arms around me
It's a comfort best described as unrest

So I'll laugh at the past
At last I'm working to the bone
Exhausted to go on
As I look above, the gap has closed
No matter what I say, I know it's too late

I've been caught in Quicksand, Quicksand again
There's nowhere to go, With no undertow
I've been caught in Quicksand, Quicksand
There's nowhere to go, Lost in the overflow

I've been caught in Quicksand, Quicksand again
I've been caught in Quicksand, Quicksand again

I've been caught in Quicksand, Quicksand again
There's nowhere to go, With no undertow
I've been caught in Quicksand, Quicksand
There's nowhere to go, Lost in the overflow
