Silversun Pickups - Quicksand lyrics
[Silversun Pickups - Quicksand lyrics]
So you chose to be here
Waiting out all your time
You're never gonna leave here
Tell me what’s on your mind
Is there something that you need here?
Or are you just passing by
Until you are free? I'm weary
Trying not to fantasize imaginary ceilings
Holding incandescent light
Are floorboards creaking?
Singing all through the night
Until you're asleep, oh
Who are you seeing?
Are they telling you to look alive?
What do they believe in?
Is there anyone on your
Side? Is anybody grieving?
Or letting in the sunshine?
Are the curtains closed?
Are there even windows?
Furniture made of steel? Are
You wearing clean clothes?
I know none of this is real
How’d you ever get so
Easily erasable? I'll never know
You got a thing that you can't get out of
Got a rhythm that you can't step out on
In a dream that you can't wake up from
This may be quicksand, may be quicksand
Gotta think, who do you belong to?
What kind of prism do you
See your life through?
May be quicksand, this may be quicksand
May be quicksand, this may be quicksand
So you chose to be here
You waited out all your time
You never got to leave here
Or tell me what's on your mind
So I will just be here
Sing the chorus of the left behind
So you can be free i'm leaving
I would've stayed with you ’til the end
There’s someone else who needs me
And I'll never have to pretend
I wish you would’ve seen him
But, I'll send him all your love
Instead so you can stay free
You got a thing that you can't get out of
Got a rhythm that you can't step out on
In a dream that you can’t wake up from
This may be quicksand, may be quicksand
Gotta think, who do you belong to?
What kind of prism do you
See your life through?
May be quicksand, this may be quicksand
May be quicksand, this may be quicksand
Waiting out all your time
You're never gonna leave here
Tell me what’s on your mind
Is there something that you need here?
Or are you just passing by
Until you are free? I'm weary
Trying not to fantasize imaginary ceilings
Holding incandescent light
Are floorboards creaking?
Singing all through the night
Until you're asleep, oh
Who are you seeing?
Are they telling you to look alive?
What do they believe in?
Is there anyone on your
Side? Is anybody grieving?
Or letting in the sunshine?
Are the curtains closed?
Are there even windows?
Furniture made of steel? Are
You wearing clean clothes?
I know none of this is real
How’d you ever get so
Easily erasable? I'll never know
You got a thing that you can't get out of
Got a rhythm that you can't step out on
In a dream that you can't wake up from
This may be quicksand, may be quicksand
Gotta think, who do you belong to?
What kind of prism do you
See your life through?
May be quicksand, this may be quicksand
May be quicksand, this may be quicksand
So you chose to be here
You waited out all your time
You never got to leave here
Or tell me what's on your mind
So I will just be here
Sing the chorus of the left behind
So you can be free i'm leaving
I would've stayed with you ’til the end

You got a thing that you can't get out of
Got a rhythm that you can't step out on
In a dream that you can’t wake up from
This may be quicksand, may be quicksand
Gotta think, who do you belong to?
What kind of prism do you
See your life through?
May be quicksand, this may be quicksand
May be quicksand, this may be quicksand
