Quicksand

Don't want to be your legacy
The fire burns for you but it flickers for me
The story goes: There was this man who found himself
But when the time came around
He could not fight what was pulling him down
Is pulling him down

So here we are and there we'll go
Walking together down this lonely road
You think your friends are with you
But they hide behind the door you call your own
They're there no more, you're all alone
You're all alone

But I guess it's all relative
'Cause you can't appreciate the sun without clouds
Yes, I am passionate about the way you speak your faith out loud
But, if you don't know me, then you probably don't know what I'm all about
Reaching out for the hand to lift me up
But the quicksand's pulling me down
Is pulling me down

So where have I been for all this time?
Skipping and dancing down that thin red line
Walking the tightrope to the other side where the platform awaits
But I can't confide with my inner fate
Try to redeem myself but it's too late
It's too late

But I guess it's all relative
'Cause you can't appreciate the sun without clouds
Yes, I am passionate about the way you speak your faith out loud
But, if you don't know me, then you probably don't know what I'm all about
Reaching out for the hand to lift me up
But the quicksand's pulling me down
Is pulling me down

But I guess it's all relative
'Cause you can't appreciate the sun without clouds
Yes, I am passionate about the way you speak your faith out loud
But, if you don't know me, then you probably don't know what I'm all about
Reaching out for the hand to lift me up
But the quicksand's pulling me down
Is pulling me down

It's pulling me down
