I felt the ground move slow beneath my feet
A whisper soft a current underneath
You didnt push you didnt pull me in
You just stood there as the sand began to sink
I used to think that solid ground was real
Until I found myself inside your field
Every step I take Im sinking lower
The more I fight the faster I go under
I try to reach I try to climb
But the grains keep slipping through my hands
I dont know if Im scared of drowning
Or just scared of where Ill land
Quicksand quicksand
Slowly pulling me down
Quicksand quicksand
The more I fight the deeper I go
Quicksand quicksand
Youre standing on the shore watching me
Quicksand quicksand
You dont reach out you dont leave you just watch me sink
You never said youd stay you never said youd go
You just watched me disappear below
I called your name but the sand filled my throat
Now Im part of the landscape that you own
I used to wonder what it felt like to be saved
Now I wonder if I ever wanted to be brave
Cause every time I try to pull myself free
I sink deeper into what you are to me
I try to reach I try to climb
But the grains keep slipping through my hands
I dont know if Im scared of drowning
Or just scared of where Ill land
Quicksand quicksand
Slowly pulling me down
Quicksand quicksand
The more I fight the deeper I go
Quicksand quicksand
Youre standing on the shore watching me
Quicksand quicksand
You dont reach out you dont leave you just watch me sink
Maybe I was always sand
Held up by you just long enough
To think that I could turn to stone
But I was wrong
Maybe youre not my trap
Maybe Im not your prey
Were just two grains that happened to fall
Into the same funnel the same way
Quicksand quicksand
Im sinking in your gravity
Quicksand quicksand
I cant tell if youre the sand or if its me
Quicksand quicksand
Youre standing on the shore like a statue
Quicksand quicksand
When I hit the bottom youll break too
Quicksand
Im still falling
Quicksand
Im at the bottom now
