[Verse 1]
Sinking down, holding my breath to count
The standing of time
I will drown in the distorted sounds
Of the world passing me by

[Pre-Chorus]
Terrified gasps of the past
At last I'm struggling to move
Exhausted to get through
As I look above
The gap has closed
Holding my outstretched hand
I know it’s the end

[Chorus]
I've been caught in quicksand
Quicksand, again
There's nowhere to go
With no undertow
I’ve been caught in quicksand
Quicksand
There's nowhere to go
Lost in the overflow

[Verse 2]
Buried deep in my mind, I know
This helplessness stems from carelessness
When the Earth wraps her arms around me
It's a comfort best described as unrest
[Pre-Chorus]
So I laugh at the past
At last I'm working to the bone
Exhausted to go on
As I look above
The gap has closed
No matter what I say, I know it's too late

[Chorus]
I've been caught in quicksand
Quicksand, again
There's nowhere to go
With no undertow
I've been caught in quicksand
Quicksand
There’s nowhere to go
Lost in the overflow
I’ve been caught in quicksand
Quicksand, again
There's nowhere to go
With no undertow
I’ve been caught in quicksand
Quicksand
There's nowhere to go
Lost in the overflow
