QUICKSAND

Standing at the doorway

Gonna take a look inside

Empty boxes, broken glass

These things I cannot hide

Smashing and I’m grabbing

All life has to give

Will I die, will I fall

Am I drowning in my own sin?

(CHORUS)

I reach out

Somebody lend me a hand

Help me

Come pull me out of the sand

I’m sinkin

I’m in way over my head

The quicksand is pulling me in

I go into the bedroom

So cold and so alone

Sinking fast, sinking deep

In this place I call my home

A thousand empty shadows

Keep bouncing off these walls

Bleeding hearts, my heart bleeds

Then there’s someone out in the hall

(CHORUS)

I need some time

Just a little time

Somebody throw me a line

I need a little time

I need some time

Just a little time

Somebody throw me a line

I need a little time

Burning like a candle

I can’t run and I can’t hide

Pasted pieces of shattered past

This thing I’ve lost inside

Ticking like a time bomb

I’ll blow at any time

If you can’t help me, no one can

As I sink deeper into the slime

(CHORUS)
