Silkworm - Quicksand lyrics

rate me

Ever wonder why there's an end to it?<br />

Clockwise slipping down a clogged drain<br />

In that period two dimensions out of three<br />

Tried to fit it like a broken chain<br />

The mirror can't explain to the crowd<br />

Just how the con went down<br />

Tonight's act is in a double lined garbage bag<br />

For your pleasure with a top hat and cane<br />

In the quicksand you're on land and you're offshore<br />

In the quicksand, it's on land and offshore<br />

<br />

Ever wonder why people disappear?<br />

Sucked under by the day's tight undertow<br />

A thick accumulation of boredom and fear<br />

On a raft made out of rotten sticks<br />

Caught on a sea of bad risks<br />

Catch it soon, is that the seventh wave<br />

Don't dawdle over twice tried failures<br />

Have you ever seen how those wolves behave?<br />

Quicksand you're on land and you're offshore<br />

Quicksand you're on land and you're offshore<br />

<br />

Ever wonder why there's a house that sits<br />

As empty as the day that someone finished building it?<br />

Birds on the highway, rat on the porch<br />

They're singing to the people who used to live next door<br />

They don't answer that phone anymore<br />

And the quicksand you're on land and you're offshore<br />

The quicksand you're on land and you're offshore<br />

The quicksand you're on land and you're offshore<br />

<br />

Offshore<br />

Offshore
