Quicksand Lyrics - Singles - Silkworm

Ever wonder why there's an end to it? 

Clockwise slipping down a clogged drain 

In that period two dimensions out of three 

Tried to fit it like a broken chain 

The mirror can't explain to the crowd 

Just how the con went down 

Tonight's act is in a double lined garbage bag 

For your pleasure with a top hat and cane 

In the quicksand you're on land and you're offshore 

In the quicksand, it's on land and offshore 

Ever wonder why people disappear? 

Sucked under by the day's tight undertow 

A thick accumulation of boredom and fear 

On a raft made out of rotten sticks 

Caught on a sea of bad risks 

Catch it soon, is that the seventh wave 

Don't dawdle over twice tried failures 

Have you ever seen how those wolves behave? 

Quicksand you're on land and you're offshore 

Quicksand you're on land and you're offshore 

Ever wonder why there's a house that sits 

As empty as the day that someone finished building it? 

Birds on the highway, rat on the porch 

They're singing to the people who used to live next door 

They don't answer that phone anymore 

And the quicksand you're on land and you're offshore 

The quicksand you're on land and you're offshore 

The quicksand you're on land and you're offshore 

Offshore 

Offshore
