Lyrics

Quicksand

I feel myself take it for granted
I know I should be happy here
Everything that I wished would happen
Is starin' back at me crystal clear
That's when the pattern takes control
Playin' the game over and over
Lettin' me know it's never gonna let me go
I know
If I had everything I wanted would I want more?
Would I keep fightin' if there's nothin' left to fight for?
Sometimes I feel like I'm just sinkin' into quicksand, quicksand
I used to think that this was somethin' I could die for
I hate admittin' to myself that I was never sure
Sometimes I feel like I'm just sinkin' into quicksand, quicksand
One thing I never thought I'd be
Chasin' my tail just for the feelin'
Lyin' in bed, stare at the ceilin'
And farewell the light, the dark is stealin'
It's all I know and I'm takin' it back, takin' it back
It's all I know and I'm takin' it back, takin' it back
If I had everything I wanted would I want more?
Would I keep fightin' if there's nothin' left to fight for?
Sometimes I feel like I'm just sinkin' into quicksand, quicksand
I used to think that this was somethin' I could die for
I hate admittin' to myself that I was never sure
Sometimes I feel like I'm just sinkin' into quicksand, quicksand
I'm waitin', anticipatin', breath bated
Thinkin' about everything I never did
I'm tryin' but what's the use in tryin'
When all I'm left with is disillusionment
It's all I know and I'm takin' it back, takin' it back
It's all I know and I'm takin' it back, takin' it back
If I had everything I wanted would I want more?
Would I keep fightin' if there's nothin' left to fight for?
Sometimes I feel like I'm just sinkin' into quicksand, quicksand
I used to think that this was somethin' I could die for
I hate admittin' to myself that I was never sure
Sometimes I feel like I'm just sinkin' into quicksand, quicksand

    Hatchie on love songs, liquorice, and singing to cows

    Pop didn’t break her, but Hatchie’s third album ‘Liquorice’ finds her ditching the drama, embracing the 90s, and naming songs after sweets. Call it a soft reinvention – or just the sound of someone finally chilling out.
