Quicksand from Welcome Home by Althaea

Teeth gleaming
Sweat beading
Tears streaming
Heart bleeding

Hands gripping
Feet tripping
Mouth dripping
Mask slipping

Light fading
You’re raging
I’m praying that
You’re still saying my name cause

CHORUS:
I wanna stay here on the ground with you and put my roots in but
I also want to touch the sun
You’re throwing me the rope we wove of promises but
I’m giving into the rush
The rush of the quicksand

You sit there while he’s dying
While I’m over here flying
I didn’t think I was lying
But that’s just how good I am at hiding from myself

I cling to you with all of my might
As I drag myself out of your sight
And the place where I felt the most bright
Is the place where I most needed the light

CHORUS
I’m gonna hold it til I’m crushed
Crushed by the quicksand

I try to grab your hand
My shadow’s burning bright
Darkness dancing in the light
Lost in the quicksand
