Quicksand

[Verse 1]

It isn't easy growing up when you're afraid of sinking down

Suffocating, anticipating a deep hole in the ground

Full of quicksand

[Verse 2]

I thought the wicked twisting fingers of a stormy summer sky

Or the monster in the water would be a likely way to die

But the danger that consumed me was the thought of drowning dry

[Chorus]

Beneath the quicksand (quicksand, quicksand)

Falling into quicksand (quicksand, quicksand)

[Verse 3]

Well, I am older, none the wiser, but I overcame the dread

To discover that the fury would ever rage within my head

And I worry over failing in my marriage, in my muse

About the father and the mother I am terrified to lose

[Verse 4]

I am scared of cruel leaders and a world gone up in flames

Apathetic troubled neighbors

And the consequence of pain

[Chorus]

And it feels like quicksand (quicksand, quicksand)

Falling into quicksand (quicksand, quicksand)

Quicksand (quicksand, quicksand)

Falling into quicksand (quicksand)
