I'm closer to the Golden Dawn
Immersed in Crowley's uniform
Of imagery
I'm living in a silent film
Portraying
Himmler's sacred realm
Of dream reality
I'm frightened by the total goal
Drawing to the ragged hole
And I ain't got the power anymore
No I ain't got the power anymore
I'm the twisted name
on Garbo's eyes
Living proof of
Churchill's lies
I'm destiny
I'm torn between the light and dark
Where others see their targets
Divine symmetry
Should I kiss the viper's fang
Or herald loud
the death of Man
I'm sinking in the quicksand
of my thought
And I ain't got the power anymore
Don't believe in yourself
Don't deceive with belief
Knowledge comes
with death's release
I'm not a prophet
or a stone age man
Just a mortal
with the potential of a superman
I'm living on
I'm tethered to the logic
of Homo Sapien
Can't take my eyes
from the great salvation
Of bullshit faith
If I don't explain what you ought to know
You can tell me all about it
On, the next Bardo
I'm sinking in the quicksand
of my thought
I still see your coat hanging on the door
Never let anybody put one there before
My pillow's got your head printed on it
Baby, of all the guys you were my favorite
Don't ask, me why
I just can't say goodbye
No, not tonight
No, I just can't say it
'Cause I'm gonna hold on, yeah I'm gonna hold on
Baby, gotta keep holding on to what we had
'Cause I don't wanna move on, so I gotta hold on
Baby, because you and me are sinking like quicksand
Like quicksand, like quicksand
Baby, because you and me are sinking like quicksand
Like quicksand, baby like quicksand
Baby, because you and me are sinking like quicksand
You came along, I didn't know of love
But now I know that sometimes it's just not enough
I hear your footsteps in my corridor
But it is just my heart, it's pounding like before
Wish I could try
But I just can't say goodbye
No, not tonight
No, I just can't say it
'Cause I'm gonna hold on, yeah I'm gonna hold on
Baby, gotta keep holding on to what we had
'Cause I don't wanna move on, so I gotta hold on
Baby, because you and me are sinking like quicksand
Like quicksand, like quicksand
Baby, because you and me are sinking like quicksand
Like quicksand, baby like quicksand
Baby, because you and me are sinking like quicksand
'Cause the ground is breaking, I can feel it shaking
Wish it was that easy, but it's not that easy
Gotta hold my hands up, gotta keep my head up
Gotta keep on breathing, baby even if we're sinking
Even if we're sinking, baby even if we're sinking
Even if we are sinking
'Cause I just-just gotta, gotta hold
(Hold)
'Cause I'm gonna hold on, yeah I'm gonna hold on
Baby, gotta keep holding on to what we had
'Cause I don't wanna move on, so I gotta hold on
Baby, because you and me are sinking like quicksand
Like quicksand, like quicksand
Baby, because you and me are sinking like quicksand
Like quicksand, baby like quicksand
Baby, because you and me are sinking like quicksand
Only got one life to live
We don't even need a piece of sand
Only you and me
We need to hold on, and hold on, and
Only got one life to live
We don't even need a piece of sand
Only you and me
We need to hold on, and hold on, and hold on
And hold on, and hold on, and hold on
And hold on, and hold on, and hold on
And hold on, and hold on, and hold on
And hold on, and hold on, and hold on
Go go go!
Push him away
No no no!
Don't let him stay...
He gets inside to stare at her
The seeping mouth
The mouth that knows
The secret you
Always you
A smile to hide the fear away
Oh! smear this man across the walls
Like strawberries and cream
It's the only way to be
Exactly the same clean room
Exactly the same clean bed
But I've stayed away too long this time
And I've got too big to fit this time...
I'm closer to the Golden Dawn
Immersed in Crowley's uniform
Of imagery
I'm living in a silent film
Portraying Himmler's sacred realm
Of dream reality
I'm frightened by the total goal
Drawing to the ragged hole
And I ain't got the power anymore
No I ain't got the power anymore
I'm the twisted name on Garbo's eyes
Living proof of Churchill's lies

Don't believe in yourself
Don't deceive with belief

Just a mortal with the potential of a superman

On the next Bardo
I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought
And I ain't got the power anymore
Don't believe in yourself
Don't deceive with belief
Ok...now the monster is awake
It won't rest until there's nothing left
Maybe ever and anon
I forget about the pain
Someone bending light comes along
and flowers lean towards the sun
Some people fall in love and touch the sky
Some people fall in love and find Quicksand
I hover somewhere in between...I swear...
Take me away, take me away
You said that you were gonna stay
But you're always lying anyway
You're gonna suffer if you don't start breathing now
Now that I need you
You're going away
Everyday sinking into quicksand
Follow me down the drain
But it doesn't matter anyway
You're gonna get yours any day
And while you put the blame on me
If you could only see yourself as others see
Now that I need you
You're going insane
Everyday sinking into quicksand
Follow me down the drain
Everyday drinking in the same bar
Drowning my sorrows away
Take me away, take me today
Or I'm never gonna get away
But it makes no difference to me
It's just the sound of one more rock star bleeding out
Now that I need you
You're out of the frame
Day by day, sinking into quicksand
Follow me down the drain
Everyday drinking in the same bar
I'm closer to the
Golden Dawn
Immersed in Crowley's uniform
Of imagery
I'm living in a silent film
Portraying Himmler's sacred realm
Of dream reality
I'm frightened by the total goal
But drawing to the ragged hole
And I ain't got the power, anymore
No I ain't got the power anymore
I'm the twisted name on Garbo's eyes
I'm living proof of Churchill's lies
I'm destiny
I'm torn between the light and dark
Where others see their targets
Divine symmetry
Should I kiss the viper's fang
Or herald loud the death of Man
'Cause I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thoughts
And I ain't got the power anymore
Don't believe in yourself
Don't deceive with belief
Knowledge comes with death's release
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
I'm not a prophet or a stone age man
Just a mortal with the potential of a superman
And I'm livin' on
I'm tethered to the logic of Homo Sapien
Can't take my eyes from the great salvation
Of bullshit faith
Oh, ohhh if I can't explain what you want to know
You can tell me all about it
On the next Bardo
'Cause I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thoughts
And I ain't got the power anymore
Don't believe in yourself
Don't deceive with belief
Knowledge comes with death's release
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Don't believe in yourself
Don't deceive with belief
Knowledge comes with death's release
Oh oh oh oh
I'm closer to the golden dawn
I can't believe the wagon's gone
It's history
I'm living in a callous realm
Where others seem to dig it
Just too much reality
I'm frightened by the total goal
I'm drawing to the ragged hole
And I ain't got the wagon anymore
No, I ain't got the wagon anymore
I'm the twisted name on Uma's eyes
I'm living proof of Cindy's lies
Of destiny
I'm drawing between the light and dark
Where others see their targets
I can't see anything
Should I leave the engine on
To listen to that mountain song
Sinking in the quicksand of my thoughts
And I ain't got the wagon anymore
Don't believe in yourself
Don't deceive with belief
The knowledge comes with death's release
Oh, oh, oh, oh...
Not too stable
Hanging by a string
Can't face the thoughts
No wheels will bring
I gotta go
It's bad enough being at home
Without a way to leave the damage
Is gonna show
If I don't explain
What you oughta know
You can tell me all about it
At the next ball show
I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thoughts
And I ain't got the power anymore
Don't believe in yourself
Don't deceive with belief
The knowledge comes with death's release
Oh, oh, oh, oh...
Don't believe in yourself
Don't deceive with belief
The knowledge comes with death's release
Oh, oh, oh, oh...
Don't believe in yourself
Don't deceive with belief
The knowledge comes with death's release
Gonna write a letter to my baby
And this is what I'm gonna say
On second thought I think I'll take the time
To say it to her face
I can't eat, can't sleep
I feel I'm going down for the last time
I'm sinking in your sea of insecurity, yeah
Do I love you? Yes I do, but I love my own life too
And now I lay here holding your hand
I can't help but feel that you don't understand
Tighter you hold on, more that it's feeling like quicksand
Our fate is written in the stars, written on your face
Now you're holding too tight to my heart
It's gonna burst and leave an empty space, yeah ya
Do I love you? Yes I do, but I love my own life too
As I lay here holding your hand
I can't help but feel that you don't understand
Tighter you hold on, more that it's feeling like quicksand, quicksand
Oh yeah
Oh, and do I love you? Yes I do, but I love my own life too
Oh, oh
Well, I lay here holding your hand
I can't help but feel that you don't understand
Tighter you hold on, more that it's feeling like quicksand
And I can't help but feel that you don't understand
Your sweet love is like a quicksand
Pullin' me under and I wonder
How deep does it go
Oh, the sky is closin' up above me
Every time you touch me
I'm like a tiger now, prowlin' in the moonlight
Sometimes love takes a funny turn around
You can make a paradise out of flat champagne
But once the party's started
Tell me who can complain
For love will find you
Find you walkin' on the shore
Inside the wind, it calls out to you
A longing melody to end your lonely hours
To stay in love with love
To live in love with love, with you
I'm tellin' you love is like a quicksand
Pullin' me under and I wonder
How deep does it go
Oh, you know the sky is closin' up above me
Every time you touch me
I'm like a tiger now, prowlin' in the moonlight
Strangers in the street could be lovers if they met along
But that's not the way this whole world is made upon
My only prayer is some day to see it burn with love
Oh it'll find you
Find you walkin' on the shore
Inside the wind it calls out to you
A longing melody to end your lonely hours
To stay in love with love
To live in love with love, with you
Oh, quicksand, oh, quicksand
I tell you quicksand lonely, pullin' me under
(Danger Zone)
Baby lover,
Who you know can put it down like me
Ain't another,
Without a doubt I know you'll agree,
Undercover,
When you bring the pain I'll bring the heat,
Got ya brother
Anytime you need the remedy,
I got the goods that'll make you wake up at night - I'll just sleep,
Make you get up and hit me say you on your way - down my street,
Just thinking 'bout it got you runnin' the lights,
Once you fall in you can't get out that's cuz I...
(Chorus)
Got that quicksand (mmmmMMMMmmmmMMMMmmmm),
I keep him sinkin' (mmmmMMMMmmmmMMMMmmmm),
Got that quicksand (mmmmMMMMmmmmMMMMmmmm),
That's how I keep him (ohhhhhh),
I could teach ya,
But all you gotta do is aim to please,
Babe, a teaser
Break him down then give him what he needs,
It's the best insurance,
If he ever leaves he'll be back,
On his knees,
Right where you want him just like that,
I got the goods that'll make you wake up at night - I'll just sleep,
Make you get up and hit me say you on your way - down my street,
Just thinking 'bout it got you runnin' the lights,
Once you fall in you can't get out that's cuz I...
(Chorus)
Got that quicksand (mmmmMMMMmmmmMMMMmmmm),
I keep him sinkin' (mmmmMMMMmmmmMMMMmmmm),
Got that quicksand (I can give it to ya but what you gonna do with it X2),
That's how I keep him (ohhhhhh),
(DeeeeeOhhhhh) (4x)
(Chorus)
Got that quicksand (mmmmMMMMmmmmMMMMmmmm),
(DeeeeeOhhhhh)
I keep him sinkin' (mmmmMMMMmmmmMMMMmmmm),
(DeeeeeOhhhhh)
Got that quicksand (mmmmMMMMmmmmMMMMmmmm),
(DeeeeeOhhhhh)
That's how I keep him (ohhhhhh),
(DeeeeeOhhhhh)
slow sinking feeling kills the mood you're conveying
and it pulls me far down below
it might be best if you go
can it not wait and hope for the best
will it not stop a while to rest
i need to get up never mind cause i've done enough
the world waits around
but i keep slipping and losing ground
do i not try so hard so good
i can't keep changing just because you think i should
said all i need to and you don't understand still
wish you saw picture my mind's eyes are deep
and they're cynical
one taken four more kills the pain healing that sore
i've taken what's left i took it all
and now you won't let me forget
the world waits around
but i keep slipping and losing ground
do i not try so hard so good
i can't keep changing just because you think i should
stop you're talking down
i lack the strength to sit or stand
i lost my self confidence in the quicksand
not now or ever
They tell me love is like quicksand
Can't stop when you're sinkin' down
Tell me love is like quicksand
Can't stop when you're sinkin' down
My gal lead me down to the suction
And I know, I just can't turn around
She's a hardheaded woman
An' she always treat me wrong
She's a hardheaded woman
An' she always treat me wrong
She treat me so bad
That's when she make me weep and moan
She's a hardheaded woman
She always treat me wrong
I'm sick an' down baby
'Cause you always treat me wrong
My hand raised for help
When I bring it up
You shut me out
So I keep on writing letters to myself
Are you doing alright
Are you burning out
Are you happy with the way it turned
Running out of you
Running out of you
And I know you'll be running out of me
Well are you hold up
Are you caving in
Are you happy with the way things have been
Running out of you
Running out of you
And I know you'll be running out of me
When it starts sinking in
Like quicksand
I can't stand
Watching the best of me
Go down with
The worst of
When it starts sinking in
Like quicksand
I can't stand
Watching the best of me
Go down with
The worst of you
Now are you doing alright
Are you burning out
Are you happy with the way things turned out
Running out of you
Running out of you
And I know you'd be running out of me
Running out of you
I'm running out of you
when art is all but gone
will anybody care
all creativity becomes standard fare
I think we're closer than it seems to the equator,
it's burning everything
at what point does it explode,
at what point do we scream
turn the knowledge we've aqcuired into action on deceit
it must be closer than it seems to a total fiasco
charcoal horizons, they're rising
the situation calls for a decision
put your drink down slowly, think it through
option one watch yourself slowly sink in
number two hold on for anything
at what point does it explode,
what moment do we scream
it must be closer than it seems to a total fiasco
charcoal horizons, they're rising
the situation calls for a decision
put your drink down slowly, think it through
option one watch yourself slowly sink in
number two hold on for anything
(always armored) the situation calls for a decision
(eyes forward) put your drink down slowly, think it through
(always armored) option one watch yourself slowly sink in
In a lonely shadow, he finds the key
Demanding light to set him free
He knows that things aren't what they always seem to mean
See it all in a different light
You know everything you heard is true
And I'll ride off with your soul tonight
If that's alright with you
I've got half a mind to make it whole
Make it whole again
And the shadow that I'm chasing is my only friend
And I'm sinking in the quicksand
Cause I never found a place to stand
And Lord knows, finally I'm a man
Everybody's got souls to blame
But the shadows keep it in ache
My eyes have seen the glory
But it's lost with every step you take
Finally you'll know what's wrong
When the gift that keeps on giving's gone
But in between these mountains and you
His soul's still trying to shine again
I've got half a mind to make it whole
Make it whole again
And the shadow that I'm chasing is my only friend
We're sinking in the quicksand
Cause I never found a place to stand
Mais uma vez ter que mergulhar
Descer ao fundo tentar encontrar
O sonho que eu perdi
Correntes fortes em todo o lugar
Mudando tudo quando tudo está no tom pra ter um fim
Meus olhos não aguentam o sal
E se fiz a 90 graus
E o seu beijo amargo de jiló
E o seu beijo amargo de jiló
As ilusões sempre a me perseguir
Não tem ninguém pra me ajudar a sair do fundo que eu não quis
Eu sei que o mundo nao pode esperar
Enquanto isso não posso enxergar a um palmo do nariz
Não acho que seja normal
Minha mente me fazendo mal
E o seu beijo amargo de jiló
E o seu beijo amargo de jiló
Deu formiga no mel
Maribondo e cupim
Que que eu vou fazer de mim
ó ó ó ó... ó ó ó ó....
As ilusões sempre a me perseguir
Não tem ninguém pra me ajudar a sair do fundo que eu não quis
Eu sei que o mundo nao pode esperar
Enquanto isso não posso enxergar a um palmo do nariz
Mues olhos nao aguentam o sal
E se fiz a 90 graus
E o seu beijo amargo de jiló
E o seu beijo amargo de jiló
Deu formiga no mel
Maribondo e cupim
Que que eu vou fazer de mim
ó ó ó ó... ó ó ó ó.... (2x)
(NOTE: THIS MAY NOT BE THE FULL SONG LYRICS, BUT THIS IS WHAT I FIND EVERY WHERE I GO! SRRY IF ITS NOT THE ENTIRE SONG, BUT ITS WHAT I CAN ONLY FIND! ENJOY! :Op Hope you like the song too, its AMAZING!!!)
When they all tell me it's over
Even the stars are aligned and
I follow the sign so clearly
And still I fall in
Quicksand pulling me down
I follow the sign so clearly
And still they catch me
Quicksand pulling me down
I'd like to say
I make good use of my time
While you've been away
And it's true
I've been at my piano everyday
Thinking of you
They talk around
I hear them whisper
It's the funniest thing we
Think you're gone forever
I know the truth
Earthy morning
Second dawning
Moving picture waking me
I'm never yawning
Perfect timing
Heaven climbing
Sunny rays and the wind chimes chiming
City falling
Family calling
Got an orphan in my arms
A baby bawling
What's it provin, still it's movin
Picture shaking me
It's all too often nowadays
One giant coffin
Power plays make waves
In the quicksand
This land is my land
Man against man, we stand
My brother woke me up this morning
Turned on the T.V. screen
And made it all too clear
Now that a different day is dawning
I've started out my day with fear
For the second time this year
It's all too often nowadays
One giant coffin
Power plays make waves
In the quicksand
This land is my land
Man against man, we stand
Earthy morning
Second dawning
Moving picture waking me
I'm never yawning
Perfect timing
Heaven climbing
Sunny rays and the wind chimes chiming
City falling
Family calling
Look at me I'm a grown man bawling
What's it proving
Still it's moving
Picture shaking me
It's all too often nowadays
One giant coffin
Power plays make waves
In the quicksand
This land is my land
Man against man, we stand
I thought it was infatuation, I couldn't find the bridges behind me
Here today, gone tomorrow, never thinking loving wouldn't find me
Now, my fee is love, I'm after, my courts show the walls of disaster 'cause
Love is like quicksand, I'm sinking deeper and deeper, baby
But the mountain of my mistakes, is looking steeper and steeper, baby
I will solve the things to loving and it was a case of taking or leaving
So, I crossed it off as usual, your love came, I couldn't believe it
So, like a child who plays with fire, I'm going after my own desire 'cause
Love is like quicksand, I'm sinking deeper and deeper, baby
But the mountain of my mistakes, is looking steeper and steeper, baby
Can't you see I'm sinking, baby? Come on, help me now, help me now
Come on, help me now, help me now
This is more than just flirtations, sure it's not a hopeless situation 'cause
Love is like quicksand, I'm sinking deeper and deeper, baby
But the mountain of my mistakes, is looking steeper and steeper, baby
Love is like quicksand, I'm sinking deeper and deeper, baby
But the mountain of my mistakes, is looking steeper and steeper, baby
Love is like quicksand, I'm sinking deeper and deeper, baby
But the mountain of my mistakes, is looking steeper and steeper, baby
Love is like quicksand, I'm sinking deeper and deeper, baby
But the mountain of my mistakes, is looking steeper and steeper, baby
Love is like quicksand, I'm sinking deeper and deeper, baby
But the mountain of my mistakes, is looking steeper and steeper, baby
Love is like quicksand, I'm sinking deeper and deeper, baby
But the mountain of my mistakes, is looking steeper and steeper, baby
Love is like quicksand, I'm sinking deeper and deeper, baby
If only you knew
This big shop believer’s draining blue
And how did you wake it
This left side of me is shining through
This quicksand’s pulling me down under
I don’t even see it’s killing me
All these caramel illusions
Sinking slowly
Why don’t you lay here?
These two suns of mine
Are shining for different reasons here
I’ll be a liar for too long
I’m sinking here
But still I care
I care
This quicksand’s pulling me down under
I don’t even see it’s killing me
All these caramel illusions
Sinking slowly
Wise up
All these bruises it’s all that you wanted
All these creases I am
Pull these pieces I am
This quicksand’s pulling me down under
I don’t even see it’s killing me
All these caramel illusions
I know just what you're thinking
You want someone to blame
I know you well 'cause, I always feel the same
We always look behind
We always look behind
Day in, day out
The world is my witness
Sick from my culture sickness
Wish it would go away, you feel the same?
We always look behind
We always look behind
I want to slow my mind
Down
Something tells me
It's my cross to bear
You can't reach me, you were never there
It's like water
Under a bridge now
I've looked a thousand times
We always look behind
We always look behind
It's beginning
Mother's cord is severed
I am falling
Break free from dependence down
To take it
I council whatever
You take it and run
60 miles an hour
And break, your way
Trusting, holding the world in your hands
It's all gone, it's done, it's over
Passed on blame is over
And your tears
Your tears don' make me feel a thing
It's deeper
You're a child
You're a dad, a mother
You mother fucked yourself again
And break away, your trusting
Who told you life was easy?
Life is a selfish thing
Life is a selfless thing
Life is a selfish thing
Life is a selfless, thing
All the days, you were dead, dead wrong
All the ways, you have said, said wrong
All of the same, mistakes you made
Wrong
Look for excuses
Wait for your big break
I'm turning my leaf over
Life is a selfless thing
Life is a selfish thing
Life is a selfless thing
A thorn in my side, and you live just to pull me down
Rusted nail, I stepped on this infection
Thorn in my side
You're full, I think so of anger
You need to sit down, stay down
The things you, want but don't get, is that fair? I don't think so
A sure thing that you can count on a big depression
A thorn in my side
You're full, I think so of anger
You need to
Your praise, is two faced
And you're, you're cut down my friend
You're cut down
One, two, three, four
A thorn in my side, a thorn in
It's all backward
It's all bad word said to me by you
How you misunderstand
All, wrapped up in yourself
Fall, who will pick you up
Walking backward
This is my mistake, my mistake
This is my mistake, my mistake
I'm sorry dear
I wish I could read your mind
It's my fault, how I misunderstand
Now, don't go changing
Trying to please me it will never work
Walking backward
This is my mistake
Always backward
This is my mistake, my mistake
I can feel this next
Upcoming crisis will be our last one
I swear
I swear
Walking backward
Walking backward
Walking backward
Kid picked on, love, blinds him
Found, his own girlfriend
It's all he could ask for
He has his hands tied up
To persuade, this kid
Had got, it all, too good
Bit, dust and he said "I live for
I live for you"
Trust, too much, this, is what, you
Get for this is just another liar
Just another liar
He has his hands tied up
To persuade, this kid
Had got, it all, too good
Bit, dust and he said "I live for
I live for you"
Trust, bliss, date, faith
Trust, hate, share
Give someone some piece of your mind shine it shine what you've been assigned
has your identity sold out sit in the back and make no sound this earth will
swallow you down
honestly makes you sick you don't ask on what you think's right honestly want
to kick down doors that keep you in
let your hair down sometime relax your stiff posture or so they say all work
no play makes you dull chance to change the patterns we're born to a fear of
appearing too concerned try to speak but the words just get stuck
honestly makes you sick you don't act on what you think's right honestly want
to kick down doors that keep you in
each time you get to raise your hand for changes you don't know your luck so
put yourself to use like you were taught by your heroes you speak your mind
Delusional, I'm not impressed
You want to tell me so bad
Who is on your guest list tonight
But I don't care
Save it for one of your other friends
Or your many fans
Just think, just think solutional we have a problem
We don't care who you know
It's too bad that you think so
Next time you drop a name
Save it for one of your other friends
Or your many fans
Delusional, I'm not impressed
Illusional lies you tell best
And you want me to know
But I can't hear at all
But I can't hear at all
I can't hear at all
But I can't hear at all
Taken to the brink of something something but we can't know what what to wait
to want it's so bad and try something and moving to slow to get where you want
to go looking for results you can't begin to find a way out from the cold
place you're in
but it suits you your condition the symtoms that keep you in keep you from
motion until it's cold slowing you down until you can't go
taken by something but you can't hold on to it you can't it slips through your
fingers slips through your hand because they're too cold can't get a grip on
what's in your sight it's like getting old it's like getting told to sit still
but it suits you your condition the symotoms that keep you in keep you from
motion until it's cold slowing you down until you can't go
it's not me if there's something wrong process of depriving yourself of peace
So this is what's in store it doesn't hurt to try
There is no pain in death, it only hurts to die
The cut that stings look before you leap
All blown apart
A land mine spring, a land mine spring
A land mine spring, a land mine spring
Did not expect this shit at all, to go through this again
What do you want from my life, I ask myself
Loading my questions like a shotgun
You can fuck every chance with one shot, you think that's the answer
The cut that stings look before you leap
All blown apart
A land mine spring, a land mine spring
A land mine spring, all blown apart
A land mine spring, a land mine spring
A land mine spring, all blown apart
Did not expect this shit at all to go through this again
You live on your knees so this is what's in store
Pull your head up, no one cares at all
Fooled yourself in the past, believing what you wanted to
A land mine spring, a land mine spring
A land mine spring, a land mine spring
It's built
Up inside
You're on
The verge of exploding
Self less
Enough to say
I meant what I said
And I'm not even sorry
What is to get?
It'd simple now
Cut to the quick
No misunderstanding
You sit there
On your side
Don't blame yourself
Blame it on your family
Self less
Enough to tell
If you walk away
Then I'm not running after
What is to get?
It's simple now
Cut to the quick
Don't misunderstand
I know you hate him
'Cause you said you did
How can you fake it?
It's some misunderstanding
Inside
Your delivered from the stress
You say that your fine
But I think that you're wishing
What is to get?
It's simple now
Cut to the quick
Don't misunderstand
Don't misunderstand
waist down deep tied now it's chest high pressure pours down from the top down
all sides something seeps down inside you can't suppress when it's your want
to revise could have skipped the slide but you did not try
change it all when you get the time when you first try's not so bad change it
all when you get the time stay inside it's as safe as you can get
trust in sleep delivery from what you're feeling in the time you're awake try
to fake out yourself the second you get wind of what went wrong this time you
could have skipped the slide but you did not try
change it all when you get the time when your first try's not so bad change
it all when you get the time stay inside it's as safe as you can get
safest from the life that you get try to catch yourself you slipped again
treatin your days like a countdown seconds pass by waiting just to blow up and
you et nothing done and this is what you want lost touch and you turn your
back and you're some friend sterile conversation learn to talk a good game
talk your way out it's a sure thing testing the ends of what they'll put up
with you got your chance to say what you wan;ed to but you never do stand up
for the ones that keep you down now you can see right through it all lost
touch and tracing your steps you can't begin you can't start to say what
you're thinking and why nottalk you way out it's a sure thing testing the ends
of what they'll put up with sticking it out till you can't get up how many
times have you been pacified accepting it when you're told there's no way
making sure there never will testing the ends of what they'll put up with

Turn your face down, it's your chance to meet the man
When you saw that, the nightstick hit his head
Saw it fall, on his skull, you heard the sound that it made
Impressed by the sound, he's impressed with himself
You stand in the way, you're the next one down
Call it like you see it, no muted witness
You stand in the way, you're the next one down
It just might break, it just might break down
It's in the way that you stand up for right
That's why the old guard's shaking
It lets them know you're there, it lets them know
That you can't ignore, what you saw
Lifting weights of conscious, story of tragic miscarriage
You stand in the way, you're the next one down
Call it like you see it, no muted witness
You stand in the way, you're the next one down
It just might break, just might break, mreak down
It just might take more than you have got
Forgotten something
Alright you have got
Stopping for nothing
It might take more than you have got
You stand in the way, you're the next one down
Call it like you see it, no muted witness
You stand in the way, you're the next one down
I'm on the inside
I'm on your side
And each thought stings
I can't think straight
It's overflowing
It's overflowing
It's coming down
It's overflowing
I'm sinking
It's overflowing
It's some savior
You fall into
And each love stings
I can't think straight
It's overflowing
It's overflowing
It's coming down
It's overflowing
I'm sinking
It's overflowing
It's coming down
It's overflowing
I'm sinking
It's overflowing

It makes no difference to me.

a trap to fall into easy believe in what you look ike outside a stain you
can't remove a stain that keeps you from that place where you'd probably
have much less to prove come downdon't fall over you ego don't mind your
friends they just want to go where the fun goes down you want to up up hip hip
hooray for you now you're the one that everyone talkes about the attention
you're not getting it makes you so upset so take me down to the place where
you can look your best better than anyone else around a stain you can't remove
a stan that keeps you from that place where'd you'd probably have much less to
prove once you tried to get it right but you couldn't figure out what it takes
to be liked you're grown up and now you've gone back to find a way to get
along it's just an act you can wipe that smile now you're the one that
everyone talks about take time take it easy I know you work so hard but your
to stand the test of time to stand alone to be without the glue that keeps us
glued together and feeling so excrementable it only goes to show you how many
ways you don't know you when the bad sets in I could use some sleep resting
falling falling deeper than sleep when we miss the point to carry on we miss
the point to carry on where things you want but did not get and allthe times
you've been upset by unfulfilled dreams and visions and the guilt for yur
wrong decisions it's so hard to pry away pry out from under all the lies and
distractions of the world you've seen what they can do but you cannot see your
way out when we miss the point to carry on all thing fall through that's out
it feels when you hear the sound of disappointment so unsatisfied when the
sights set higher some can't achieve don't believe there is light at the end
at all time to reach out for what's real it's easy to miss insistinsist that
I said why do i always have to spell it out from you our story is always
changing we change it to hide the pain and when the truth rears it's ugly head
it's all too late for the omission that you kept inside and you wish it wasn't
does it seem like the same man doesn't seem the same at all I feel myself fall
you can say goodbye to your bad side and surpress the feeling that could hurt
your mind there's no need for lies if the news ain't breaking framework
falling down on the downside built on a weak spot facts hiding in your mind
wait till the bomb drops we have more sense than lies the story is in our eyes
does it seem like the same man doesn't seem the same at all I feel myself fall
does it seem like the same man doesn't seem the same at all I feel myself fall
Standing there like a sore thumb out notice your image is different traits
that change it's just to quick follow on clues and guess what that's what it's
like follow your ups and downs it' safe to say that I can't tell
all seense aside left out in the cold sight of your routine getting old blame
some indifference inside taken on shapes not too selective just what you
find
looking for seconds of piece of mind pieces of something to hold on to a job
that you just can't hold down distracted for seconds you're gone follow your
ups and downs it's safe to say that I can't tell
all sense aside left out in the cold sight of your routine getting old
blames some indifference inside taken on shapes not too selective just what
you find needing to find something is everything ok I hope you find your niche
someday soon easy to change your phase to movee from where you stand but
you'vee got to keep that face eeach change you plan wonder is everything ok
I was so sincere, I see more clearly now
I trust new friends just like I can throw them
Fading traces of a future leader
A summer squatting, I know I won't see them 'round next year
And this is all over my head
And this is all over my head
Rain, it's rain again
Rain, down on my parade
I'm wrong, you're right
It's not what you would do
Rain, walk one mile in these shoes
In these careless days
You know who your friends are a saving grace
A time to remember, what you're taken and who you took from
There's no mistaking, what you give is what you get
And this is all over my head

I am the son,
and, the heir.
Of a shyness that was criminally vulgar.
Son, and heir.
Of nothing in particular.
Oh, shut your mouth.
How can you say,
I go about things the wrong way?
I'm human and I need to be loved,
like everyone,
like everyone does.
I am the son,
and, the heir.
Of a shyness that was criminally vulgar.
Son, and heir.
Of nothing in particular.
Of nothing in particular at all.
And you say its gonna happen now.
When exactly do you mean?
I've already waited too long,
and all my hope is gone.
There's a club if you'd like to go.
You might meet someone,
who really loves you.
So you go on your own,
and leave on your own,
and you go home,
Envy of, a sense of true identity, a sign of confidence to see.
Because when she said "I love that music, too,"
she meant, "Only as long as you want me too."
So sad, we don't see, until we become what they want us to be.
It's too late.
I don't know why,
but what they want me to do,
I do it.
Powered by wealth,
changing myself,
and if they only knew that I knew it.
And it seems that the real life will have to wait,
because the world's so busy,
so busy, cleaning a clean slate.
Ahh, hoping to find what's mine,
so I can lead a full life,
use a knife,
and dig in like a cannibal.
Out for,
for myself, but all the things I want are serving someone else.
I don't know why,
but what they want me to do,
I do it.
Powered by wealth,
changing myself,
and if they only knew that I knew it.
And it seems that the real life will have to wait.
As the world keeps cleaning, it's cleaning.
The spin cycle runs round.
A clear decision can be found.
Can't think when my mind,
If, you turn, turn away,
I, can pretend, that you抣l stay.
If you want it.
If, you, want, I will.
Torn, in two, torn away.
I, could not look.
I wish you did.
If you want it.
If, you, want, I will.
If you really want it.
If you really want to.
All ways I want to burn,
set, fire to,
things that were not returned.
So take what you can get,
second chance might not come.
Or we can just stay dumb.
If really you want to.
I, I will.
If you really want to.
If you turn, away.
If you turn, turn away.
If you want to.
If you want to.
If you want to.
Meant to refuse,
but just smash the whole gate down.
Tried for the truth,
but just, lied when it really mattered.
Anywhere,
that your going.
Anytime,
that you feel like.
Should have been there.
Should have spoken.
Tell me there's nowhere you're going.
If you only faced it when.
Then you,
decide to,
finally make it in.
It's over.
It's breaking.
In case that's all,
that you want,
unprotected.
Kept it all hidden.
It's safe from you,
that's what matters.
Anywhere,
that your going.
Anytime,
that you feel like.
Should have been there.
Should have spoken.
Tell me there's no way of knowing.
If you only faced it when.
Then you,
decide to,
finally make it in.
It's over.
It's breaking.
It's broken.
Adjusting, nothing.
You get just what you pay for.
Believe in, anything.
Another stab, in the back, that you let go.
Don't know how to react, now you don't know.
Tell me something that I don't know.
You don't approve of the difference.
You can't wait for things,
change to slow.
Think you do, but you, just,
just don't get it.
And this,
is the most that.
The wool pulled over your eyes.
Just the future your bracing for.
Confuse, your, faith, with the right to shoot them down.
A choice for yourself.
You can choose for yourself,
but not for me.
And this,
is the most that.
Wool pulled over your eyes.
You disagree so, whatever.
Don't have to shoot me down.
You never see, not, ever,
Not,
never try to pretend.
Its just as easy.
Its not your right.
Its not your body.
And if it was,
and you are the target of,
so much hate in your bones.
And I shoot and you kill,
and you kill,
and you kill.
Give someone some piece of your mind.
Shine it, shine what you've been assigned.
Has your identity sold out?
Sit in the back and make no sound,
this earth will swallow you down.
Honest it makes you sick.
You don't act on what you think's right.
Honestly want to kick down,
doors that keep you in.
Let your hair down.
Sometimes relax your stiff posture.
Or so they say, all work no play make you dull.
Chance to change the patterns we're born to.
A fear of appearing too concerned,
try to speak, but the words just get stuck.
Honest it makes you sick.
You don't act on what you think's right.
Honestly want to kick down,
doors that keep you in.
Each time you get to raise your hand for changes you don't know your luck,
so put yourself to use like,
you were taught by, by your heroes.
You speak your mind, that's something.
You speak your mind, that's something.
yesterday

Out of the darkness. In to the blindness.
From the cradle to the grave.
Out of the voidness. Through the silence.
One small step to the final point.
No need for shortcuts. Flashing snapshots.
Feels like this has just began.
Fast as lightning. It's getting frightening.
Slow me down. I don't want to burn out now.
The years are passing by like clouds up in the sky.
When will they disappear? When will it all be clear?
Straight into the ending. I am descending.
What is this life all about?
Can't believe this. It's time to dismiss.
Still I don't know where's my place or what to do.
Minutes turn into days and still he's searching his place.
What is this life all about? The sands of time run out.
Wrinkles form up on his face. He prays to complete this race.
I must have been so stupid
I must have been so out of touch
He must have been so clever
Convincing me that this was really love
Desperate for words, lost in a maze,
It fell apart, I lost my place,
It hurt so bad, I cried for days
Time healed all pain, now I'm okay
How many times can my heart break,
Disillusioned by the thought of flawless love?
Will I ever get there or am I drowning in
quicksand, waiting on relief to come?
Desperate for words, lost in a maze,
It fell apart, I lost my place,
It hurt so bad, I cried for days
Time healed all pain, now I'm okay
I'll rise from all my sorrow,
Let the sun shine on my face
All alone in comfort,
It's my solitude I will embrace
I've been coniving, devising a plan, to say something brilliant to this girl.
Test driving the words in my head, cause I'm gonna wreck if I don't.
When she talks suddenly my knees won't bend, like I'm stuck in quicksand.
And its because the gears that turn my head won't spin and she slips through my hands again and again and again.
I love sleeping cause up in my dreams, the two of us make a good pair, but then waking is a different thing cause I sort of live in a nightmare.
When she talks suddenly my knees won't bend, like I'm stuck in quicksand.
And its because the gears that turn my head won't spin and she slips through my hands again and again.
Why do I get so paralyzed
I want to take her by surprise
There are wires in between
Human heart and machine.
I will wait for mountains
To tell me you're okay...
On paper my future will lay.
I'll fold every failure into a crane.
Trust is quicksand,
Claiming everything I have,
All to give me life, all to give me life.
Slow down, hide your eyes!
The sun is setting fire
Through glass, branches deep.
I cough only to breathe.
Trust is quicksand,
Claiming everything I have,
All to give me life, all to give me life.
One thousand more to go,
I'll send every prayer from below.
I was swallowed by a whale.
Slow down, you're all words
And love is made of yarn.
Scissors,
A slip of the hand, a slip of the tongue;
God knows I meant no harm, I meant no harm.
In between every promise and lie there is a kiss.
In between tempers and suitcases there is a kiss.
In between medicine and the sick there is a kiss.
In between arrows, aim, and release, there is a kiss.
(Anchors in reverse
Those nights disappeared like words written in the sand
And we think it makes us better off
And then we laughed about the loss
But there's a thousand miles of pavement between you and I
I'd drive another hour just to get me home tonight
But you don't have the eyes to see
The writing on the wall that says I'm sorry
You can't say a word tonight, the stars have got you hypnotized
Spit out all those lies before you choke on them
It's not to late to make amends, when all our lives turn to quicksand
Frustration, so tired, things don't seem better
After all frustration, so tired, things don't seem better off
Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh
Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh
I'm the obsessor
Holding your hand
It seems you have forgotten
About your man
Alone in the darkness
My bed's a different land
Your touch intensifies
And I'm in the Quicksand
I'm in the Quicksand
I'm in the Quicksand
You're the upsetter
Stroking my hand
What's my position?
I don't understand
Am I your possession?
Am I in demand?
Oh when you turn to me
I'm in the Quicksand
I'm in the Quicksand
I'm in the Quicksand
You, you moved into my mind again Oooh
You, you're walking around rent free Oooh
Oh, I could let you stay
But I'm walking on broken ground again
Oh, oh, when will I learn?
All you do is push me back in the dirt
Ooooh Oooooh Ooooh ooooh
Oooh Ooooh Ooooh ooooh (x2)
I'm in the Quicksand
Oooh oooh ooooh ooooh ooooh ooooh
Oooh Ooooh
I'm in the Quicksand
Oo-oo ooo ooo who-oooh! Oo-oo ooo ooo who-oooh!
You're like Quicksand, quicksand Pulling me closer, closer In your arms Can't resist your loving charms You're like quicksand sinking me deeper In love with you
The more I fight it The deeper in love I get Each time you hold me I feel nothing but happiness It's not safe loving you this way But from your arms I can't stay
You're like Quicksand, quicksand, yeah Pulling me closer, closer Making me love you Need you (Deeper) Sinking me deeper, deeper In love with you.
Oo-oo ooo ooo who-ooooh! (Deeper. Deeper. Deeper!In love with you.)
My heart is a prisoner Of your warm embrace I can't help, can't help myself Nothing can take your place When you say sweet things to me I start trembling from head to feet
You're like Quicksand, quicksand, yeah Pulling me closer, closer just can't resist you just want to kiss you
You're like quicksand, yeah! Oo-oo ooo ooo who-ooooh! Quicksand, quicksand, yeah Sinking me deeper Sinking me deeper I just can't resist you I just want to kiss you
We?re goin' down, down, down, down, down in quicksand
Our country?s law is left in slippery hands
So many educated yet no solution
We?re goin' down, down, down, down, down in quicksand
Number one, purge all police station
And some headquarters fi corruption
Two, some politicians don?t have a clue
One bag of promise, comfort fi a fool

Blood out of stone, education no free
Four, ghetto youth with him gun hardcore
Plan fi mash a works, prison at him door
We?re goin' down, down, down, down, down in quicksand
Our country?s law is left in slippery hands
So many educated yet no solution
We?re goin' down, down, down, down, down in quicksand
Number five, prisons rehabilitation
Inmates fi go out and change the nation
Six, government and politics
People a bawl say the road want fix
Seven, courthouse flex like the Devil
Pure injustice and the law, it no level
Eight, blood shed climb, high rate
A long time ghetto youth a try hold the faith
We?re goin' down, down, down, down, down in quicksand
Our country?s law is left in slippery hands
So many educated yet no solution
We?re goin' down, down, down, down, down in quicksand
Number nine, rich man alone want climb
Inner cities need the resources for shine
Well ten, what about the homeless, them?

Oh, we goin', goin' down
Yes, we goin' down
We're goin' down in quicksand
Oh, we goin' down
(In quicksand)
Oh, we goin', goin' down
Yes, we goin' down
Ever wonder why there's an end to it?
Clockwise slipping down a clogged drain
In that period two dimensions out of three
Tried to fit it like a broken chain
The mirror can't explain to the crowd
Just how the con went down
Tonight's act is in a double lined garbage bag
For your pleasure with a top hat and cane
In the quicksand you're on land and you're offshore
In the quicksand, it's on land and offshore
Ever wonder why people disappear?
Sucked under by the day's tight undertow
A thick accumulation of boredom and fear
On a raft made out of rotten sticks
Caught on a sea of bad risks
Catch it soon, is that the seventh wave
Don't dawdle over twice tried failures
Have you ever seen how those wolves behave?
Quicksand you're on land and you're offshore
Quicksand you're on land and you're offshore
Ever wonder why there's a house that sits
As empty as the day that someone finished building it?
Birds on the highway, rat on the porch
They're singing to the people who used to live next door
They don't answer that phone anymore
And the quicksand you're on land and you're offshore
The quicksand you're on land and you're offshore
The quicksand you're on land and you're offshore
Offshore
Quicksand closing in around my eyes
Quicksand forcing me to realize
Nothing that I see
Can get through this wall to me
This wall of quicksand closing in around my mind
Quicksand and I'm losing track of time
Sinking like a stone
All the dreams that I have ever known
Sinking into quicksand closing in around my heart
Quicksand teaching me further poems
From the things I feel
All that it can steal, taken and concealed
Not to be revealed about quicksand
From the things I feel
All that it can steal taken and concealed
Not to be revealed about quicksand
Talking about quicksand
Ohhhh No No Oh
This is a typical story of a girl’s demise
This is the way the world ends, this is the way my world ends
Knew I was a goner the first time I saw your eyes
This is the way the world ends, this is the way my world ends
Oohhh ooohhh, ya knew I’m not the falling kind
Oohhh ooohhh ooohhh!
CHORUS
Like quicksand, I’m going off of the deep end
There is no way I can’t pretend I’m not falling for you
Can’t fake it ,words are so bad I cant take it
This is the best and worst feeling I’ve had
I am falling into you
Just like quicksand
Oh, Oh
Trying to keep my head above this, but i won’t last long
This is the way the world ends, this is the way my world ends
Started going under cuz your gravity’s too strong
This is the way the world ends this is the way my world ends
Oh oh I can’t get you off my mind
Oh oh ohhhhhhh
CHORUS
I am afraid of letting go
But I can’t leave you alone
Oh, oh yea yea yea yea
i like to say i made good use of my time while you were away
and it's true i've been at my piano everyday thinking of you
they talk around i hear them whispering it's the funniest thing really
they think you're gone forever i know the truth
it's just getting hard to believe it
when they all tell me it's over even the starts are alligned and i
i follow the signs so clearly and still i've fallen
the quicksand's pulling me down i follow the signs so clearly and still they catch me the quicksand's pulling me down
i am not the same i cant sleep nights and now i am calling your name
and yet without you they say i got on better and better and better
when they all tell me it's over i'll damn the gods untill the stars are alligned and i
i follow the signs so clearly and still i've fallen the quicksand's pulling me down
i follow the signs so clearly and still they catch me the quicksand is pulling me down
look at my life and look can't you see my heart bleeding down my sleeves
so you're holding my hand and holding my heart but i just wanna feel you inside me so i can breathe
somewhere in the distance i catch a spark of grace and hope something makes me feel like i am alive
it's never too soon it's never too late so i start screaming out
i see your face i see your hand reaching down and i yell and you and i say
i follow the signs so clearly and still i've fallen the quicksand's pulling me down
i follow the sign so clearly and still i've fallen the quicksand is pulling me down
i follow the signs so clearly and still i've fallen the quicksand's pulling me down
i know you can feel me rising , i am on fire if you keep on pulling me out
look at my life and look at my face and look what i've come to get to this place with you
Being here to sit and lay at your feet and rest in your arms
And listen to your heart beat.
Oh I'm sinking
Screaming for someone to throw me a line
No one hears me
My life passes right before my eyes
The sun is shining
Yet I'm dying
The vultures circling round
What was I thinking
As I'm sinking
Standing in quicksand
No one told me
Never to walk down this road alone
Now I'm humbled
Could they find me, would they ever know
I'm going under
Called my number
Before my time
What was i thinking
As I'm thinking
Standing in quicksand
Am I dreaming
Wake me up before I'm too far gone
Is it slumber
Pulling me under
Pulling me down
What was I thinking
As I'm sinking
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
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
Biting the bait
Pulling me down
Telling myself to rebuild and rebound
Yet always hoping to see you around
Cause that's my idea of safe 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
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
I'm trying hard
Real hard
I'm emotional, yes it's true
Cause I've been looking for a pretty girl
Just like you, heh
And I get butterflies, when we close
And I can tell by how she plays the game
She knows
So I'm emotional, I can't hide
Cause she classic but she ain't afraid to ride
And shes incomparable, she's a 10
And she plays with all the silly hearts of men
That's why you got me in
Quicksand, quicksand
Can't believe that I'm stuck
That's why you got me in
Quicksand, quicksand
Can't believe I'm stuck
I'm emotional, I admit
Cause this feeling that I'm feeling
Just won't quit
I'm anticipating every touch
And I'm hoping that it doesn't show too much
So I'm emotional, I can't hide
Cause she classic but she ain't afraid to ride
And shes incomparable, she's a 10
And she plays with all the silly hearts of men
That's why you got me in
Quicksand, quicksand
Can't believe that I'm stuck
You got me in
Quicksand, quicksand
Can't believe I'm stuck
Baby you got me, got me, got me, yeah
That's why you got me in
Quicksand, quicksand
Can't believe that I'm stuck
You got me in
Quicksand, quicksand
Can't believe I'm stuck
You got me quicksand
I'm stuck in the quicksand [said I'm stuck]
You got me in quicksand
I'm stuck in the quicksand [I'm not moving]
You got me in quicksand
I'm stuck in the quicksand [said I'm stuck]
You got me in quicksand
You're riding on this wave of blue sequins
You're shimmering
Tango, Foxtrot, I'm in trouble
Can you hear clammer louder and louder
You see I'm falling
Gently on the cobbles
Skipping into the quicksand
Not into your arms
You see I'm falling
Gently on the cobbles
Skipping into the quicksand
Not into your arms
You see I'm falling
Gently on the cobbles
Skipping into the quicksand
Not into your arms
Ears drop, drip, drip, driping down my ears
Flood gates and tears
Delicate and gently does it
Won't you dedcite your hate to another
You see I'm falling
Gently on the cobbles
Skipping into the quicksand
Not into your arms
You see I'm falling
Gently on the cobbles
Skipping into the quicksand
Not into your arms
You see I'm falling
Gently on the cobbles
Skipping into the quicksand
When they all tell me it's over
Even the stars are aligned and
I follow the sign so clearly
And still I fall in
Quicksand pulling me down
I follow the sign so clearly
And still they catch me
Quicksand pulling me down
I'd like to say, I make good use of my time
While you've been away and it's true
I've been at my piano everyday thinking of you
They talk around, I hear them whisper
It's the funniest thing we
Think you're gone forever, I know the truth
