Quicksand
written by Avy Summerlind ©2012

sittin’
just waiting for the pill to kick in
so I can get up and go
I’ve got nothing to lose
but I’m still moving so slow

wait
get ready, get set me straight
who’s running the show
days of confusion
feel like I am losing control

left with my hands tied
tethered to more
to more of this life
quicksand’s gonna swallow me whole
just looking for a hand to hold
to pull me up
to the ground
'cause something’s here pulling me down

saved by the stereo
it’s been days
since anyone’s called or come over
is it worth the wait
when lonely
gets lonelier

bathe
in a little light
everyday
for a little while
how the time flies
when I’m standing still
hoping for
that miracle

left with my hands tied
tethered to more
to more of this life
quicksand’s gonna swallow me whole
just looking for a hand to hold
to pull me up
to the ground
'cause something’s here pulling me down

quicksand’s gonna swallow me whole
just looking for a hand to hold
just looking for a hand to hold
