Lyrics

Quicksand

It was a moment in time
When our paths lashed
You stayed engraved in my mind
Over the months that passed
Then it happened again
Something brought us together
This time was it fate?
Or were you more clever?
But ever since then
I've been trapped inside
That beautiful glint
In those lying eyes
You've lied to me once
I've cried more than twice
But I don't seem to care
Now I realize

I'm stuck in his quicksand
Is he the man
Who sinks all that I am
into the palm of his hand? (repeat 1)

I can't run away
My heart strings are tied
To the dim light of day
In this darkest night
Oh you think you are so witty
Like I don't know what you've done
Since its blindingly pretty ill still dare to stare at the sun

I'm stuck in his quicksand
Is he the man
Who sinks all that I am
into the palm of his hand? (repeat 2)

Oh this isn't right
I'm fading away
But just one more night
It's okay
With all of my might
I've tried to say
That I'm leaving you
But then you whisper to stay

I'm stuck in your quicksand
Are you the man
Who sinks all that I am
Into the palm of your hand?
