"Quicksand" lyrics
Atmosphere, Slug & Ant Lyrics
It feels like I'm sinkin'
But it's goin' too slow
I must be dreamin'
How am I supposed to know?
I don't trust my senses
Everything's corrupt
I feel defenseless
Like the pain ain't enough to wake you up
I wanna fall asleep
But I'm afraid of death
I sent a message to my younger self
It was just two words said, "Savior breath"
And if we're gonna be honest
I don't even know which way the mountain top is
I might be alive and conscious
It don't mean I'm cognizant of what I'm tryin' to accomplish
I jumped through hoops of fire
Just to get a couple new subscribers
I been around the world, didn't lose my lighter
But my arms are tired, but I'm still inspired
I feel incomplete
But every day's a new leaf
I wanna escape from between your teeth
And all I can see are the things I can't reach
I've had it up to here
But there ain't now where to hide from the puppeteer
Exhale till my lungs are clear
And underneath the surface, I disappear
Gravity, that's your enemy
You get to fly temporarily
But we all gotta bend the knee eventually
Cut me off and let me bleed into the—
I gotta go, I gotta go
Already know I gotta get away from ya
Could somebody please throw me a rope
I'd rather hang above ya
It's like the more I fight it
The faster I sink in the trap
I wanna reach the sky
You keep on suckin' me back and back into the—
Don't you have anything better to do?
But it's goin' too slow
I must be dreamin'
How am I supposed to know?
I don't trust my senses
Everything's corrupt
I feel defenseless
Like the pain ain't enough to wake you up
I wanna fall asleep
But I'm afraid of death
I sent a message to my younger self
It was just two words said, "Savior breath"
And if we're gonna be honest
I don't even know which way the mountain top is
I might be alive and conscious
It don't mean I'm cognizant of what I'm tryin' to accomplish
I jumped through hoops of fire
Just to get a couple new subscribers
I been around the world, didn't lose my lighter
But my arms are tired, but I'm still inspired
I feel incomplete
But every day's a new leaf
I wanna escape from between your teeth
And all I can see are the things I can't reach
I've had it up to here
But there ain't now where to hide from the puppeteer
Exhale till my lungs are clear
And underneath the surface, I disappear
Gravity, that's your enemy
You get to fly temporarily
But we all gotta bend the knee eventually
Cut me off and let me bleed into the—
I gotta go, I gotta go
Already know I gotta get away from ya
Could somebody please throw me a rope
I'd rather hang above ya
It's like the more I fight it
The faster I sink in the trap
I wanna reach the sky
You keep on suckin' me back and back into the—
Don't you have anything better to do?
