Quicksand

[Verse 1]
It isn't easy growing up when you're afraid of sinking down
Suffocating, anticipating a deep hole in the ground
Full of quicksand

[Verse 2]
I thought the wicked twisting fingers of a stormy summer sky
Or the monster in the water would be a likely way to die
But the danger that consumed me was the thought of drowning dry

[Chorus]
Beneath the quicksand (quicksand, quicksand)
Falling into quicksand (quicksand, quicksand)

[Verse 3]
Well, I am older, none the wiser, but I overcame the dread
To discover that the fury would ever rage within my head
And I worry over failing in my marriage, in my muse
About the father and the mother I am terrified to lose

[Verse 4]
I am scared of cruel leaders and a world gone up in flames
Apathetic troubled neighbors
And the consequence of pain

[Chorus]
And it feels like quicksand (quicksand, quicksand)
Falling into quicksand (quicksand, quicksand)
Quicksand (quicksand, quicksand)
Falling into quicksand (quicksand)
