Slipped Into The Quick
Falling too deep.
Im in the middle of black quicksand.
Being in this deep was never my plan.
Lost in the swamps of life.
During my trip to run away, I ended up getting stuck.
Deep in the middle of this quicksand.
Ive lost my grip and im sinking fast.
Holding on to a branch.
Im losing the grip of my hand.
Stuck in this place.
This wasnt part of my plan.
So im mad, weary weak and sad.
Taking my anger out on this pad.
Broken hearted and alone.
Out on a limb.
With no boat, and no paddle.
With no horse or no saddle.
Sinking fast, sinking deep.
Stuck in this quicksand, i think.
I think about love and life.
In too deep, alive but growing weak.
In too deep, now all i can do is think and sink.
