Quicksand

I gave it all,
Then I gave it up,
I took it in,
Then I cut it up,
I should have known what I did wrong here.

I've done my time,
Now it's cutting me up,
Everyday I'm breaking up,
I've lost control,
How do I get out of here?

[INSTRUMENTAL]

Now the words are swirling round,
And I keep losing ground,
The world is caving in around me,
And I can't keep pulling myself down.

So sick of this feeling,
No room for complaining,
When I'm falling far down below,
I need to get up,
I need to wake up,
Cause the world keeps caving in.

Now the words are swirling round,
And I keep losing ground,
The world is caving in around me,
And I can't keep pulling myself down.

As the words swirl around,
I keep losing ground,
The world is caving in around me,
And I can't keep pulling myself down.

Now I'm sinking in (sinking in),
The air is thickening (thickening),
Now I'm slipping in (slipping in),
I'm losing all that I had,
...in the quicksand,
in the quicksand,
in the quicksand,
in the quicksand...

Now the words are swirling around,
And I keep losing ground,
The world is caving in around me,
And I can't keep pulling myself down.

As the words swirl around,
I keep losing ground,
The world is caving in around me,
And I can't keep pulling myself down.
