Lyrics
Together, we built castles of sand,
she thanked God as I guided her hand,
our creations reflected our will,
born with voids we thought we’d fill
We built a city, me & my baby,
the sea didn’t have the heart to wash it away,
with subtle crashes upon the shelf,
the sea must’ve known I’d do it all myself
Well, I’m in quicksand
(quicksand)
Every move I’ve made
condemns the ones that I’m making
Well, when I explained away her fears,
she lashed out,
and she screamed in tears,
when I backed off,
I gave her time,
she sentenced me for my crime
Well, I’m in quicksand
(quicksand)
Chased an illusion of days,
now the price I must pay
No matter how hard I tried,
every action to her was a lie,
no matter how I expressed my love,
nothing to her was good enough
I’m in quicksand
(quicksand)
Once her guise has bitten
all you are to her is poison
And every prayer I make
cannot absolve
the ones I’ve forsaken
I’m sinking low,
and I’m near the end,
but I ain’t calling for my friends,
‘cause once you’re in quicksand you’re better off dead,
I pray in Hell I might see her
I’m sinking low,
and I’m near the end,
but I aintcalling for my friends,
‘cause once you’re in quicksand you’re better off dead,
I pray in Hell I might see her again
