Quicksand

Trying to tell myself you're nothing special

You're fucking nothing to me

Lying to myself through my teeth

 

The way you used your words

Put me under some sort of spell

A hold I can't shake

Like quicksand

 

You were everything while you were nothing

 

I'm empty

I'm empty

I'm empty

 

A neverneding scab you pick at

 

My hands

My hands

My hands

 

Your touch ruined me

 

Now, just a small ghost haunting the back of your mind

As you haunt mine

 

That fateful night

When the feelings crashed suddenly into me

What have you done?

 

Your waves swept me into a dream from which I can't wake

Like quicksand

 

I drew you in

 

Like quicksand

 

You walked right in

 

Like quicksand

 

Like quicksand

Like quicksand

Like quicksand

 

Towers and lookouts and birthdays and ghosts and hands and smiles and eyes and coats and couches and cats and broken glass and fucking broken screens and false promises and no self-restraint

 

Hardness and softness

Falling apart at the seams

 

All sucked into the mess we made

Into the quicksand

 

Your words were like quicksand

 

Bath and forth between struggling and givbing in

 

Sinking

Sinking

Sinking

 

No one warned us about these black hole energy vortexes in our hearts

Like quicksand

 

Your emptiness and mine

Quicksand

 

I'm heavy

I'm heavy

I'm heavy

 

I need a hand

Out of this quicksand
