Quicksand

Two step forwards, another backwards Out on the front line, standing on a land mine It looks so easy until I'm on my own feet And faster than the blink of an eye Feels like I'm losing control I don't know which way to go Feels like I'm losing control You'd think by now I'd have learned It looks so easy when you hand it to me Scrawled on the back page a message from the stone age And as it crumbles I begin to stumble Falling through a trapdoor Feels like I'm losing control I don't know which way to go Feels like I'm losing control You'd think by now I'd have learned If you try to run and hide Then you'll never turn the tide Endlessly lost at sea Wasting all your energy If you try to run and hide Then you'll never turn the tide Endlessly lost at sea Wasting all your energy You want it, you got it I need to see you on it You wanted to feel it So show me that you mean it You want it, you got it I need to see you on it You wanted to feel it So show me that you mean it First hand, wandering the wasteland All I see is quicksand, lapping at my feet Fall down, catch you on the rebound Nothing left to say, nothing here left to see Feels like I'm losing control I don't know which way to go You'd think by now I'd have learned But I know I will return
