Documenting a decline in his mental health, “quicksand” poses as a recollection of the trauma glaive and his love interest dealt with throughout their lives. Missing his former partner, glaive begins to fall into desperation, although aware their current state wouldn’t work out. The second verse see...
[Verse 1]
Every day, every day is another problem
And I got a therapist to help me solve them
And I don't tell no one this, but when I was young and shit
I'd cry alone and watch the flowers blossom
And I waste my time, yeah, that's through and through
And I can sit here and pretend I ain't missing you
Before you pull that trigger, I would think it through
And every time I take a picture, I would think of you
[Chorus]
Quicksand, I've been falling but I'm in too deep
And I don't wanna go back to when you were into me
And I wan' go way back to like 2015
I wanna go way back when you liked me for me
Quicksand, I've been falling but I'm in too deep
And I don't wanna go back to when you were into me
And I wan' go way back to like 2015
I wanna go way back when you liked me for me
[Verse 2]
And I've been running through the city
I've been running through these streets
I've been running through the forest
I've been swimming through these streams
And two months ago, was wondering if I'm wasting my teens
And while you was chasing girls, bitch, I was chasing dreams
And I said I didn't need you, I've been better than ever
And her dad just died, and her mom don't wan' tell her
And her brother might too, he had a gun to the teller
And now he's bleeding out bad, yeah, his arteries severed
And she can't hear shit 'cause her music full blast
And she don't get texts 'cause her phone screen's black
And I don't respond 'cause my phone screen's cracked
And I try so hard to escape my past
[Chorus]
Quicksand, I've been falling but I'm in too deep
And I don't wanna go back to when you were into me
And I wan' go way back to like 2015
I wanna go way back when you liked me for me
Quicksand, I've been falling but I'm in too deep
And I don't wanna go back to when you were into me
And I wan' go way back to like 2015
I wanna go way back when you liked me for me
