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

But the danger that consumed me was the thought of drowning dry

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)
