Quicksand (triple j Live At The Wireless)

[Verse 1]

If I hold on much longer, I might break my hands

I must respect the space you have, but you tread in my lands

And all things aside, I know we both know where we stand

I'm stuck here and you're there and that's it

Let it go

[Chorus]

This quicksand, it pulls me under

It pulls me underneath her

And I'm learning how to live with my unintended consequences

While you're busy jumping fences

Afraid to stay in one spot for too long

[Verse 2]

Biting the bait, pulling me down

Telling myself to rebuild and rеbound

Yet, always hoping to see you around

'Cause that’s my idea of safе and sound

But I'd rather gamble lose all and face death

Than fucking rot here, exhausted from this waste of breath

I always waste my breath

[Chorus]

This quicksand, it pulls me under

It pulls me underneath her

And I'm learning how to live with my unintended consequences

While you're busy jumping fences

Afraid to stay in one spot for too long

[Bridge]

I'm trying hard, real hard

Everyday, not to lose my temper

I'm trying hard, real hard

Everyday, not to lose my temper

I'm trying hard, real hard

Everyday, not to lose my temper

I'm trying hard, real hard

Everyday, not to lose my...

Temper!
