I like to say, I've made good use of my time while you've been away. And it's true, I've been in my piano everyday Thinking of you. They talk around, I hear them whisper, It's the funniest thing really they think you're gone forever I know the truth, It's just getting hard to believe it. When they all tell me it's over Even the stars are aligned and I, I follow the signs so clearly, And still I've fallen The quicksand's pulling me down. I follow the signs so clearly, And still they catch me The quicksand's pulling me down. I'm not the same, I can't sleep nights and now i'm calling your name when I do. And yet without you, they say I get along better, better, better. When they all tell me It's over I'll damn the gods until the stars are aligned and I, I follow the signs so clearly, And still I've fallen The quicksand's pulling me down. I follow the signs so clearly, And still they catch me The quicksand's pulling me down. Look at my life, look at my face, can't you see my heart bleeding down my sleeve, You're holding my hand and holding my heart but I just want to feel your breath inside me so I can breath. Somewhere in the distance I catch a spark of grace I hope it's something that makes me feel like I'm alive. It's never to soon, It's never to late, So I start screaming out I see your face I see your hand reaching down and I yell to you and I say, I follow the signs to clearly, And still I've fallen The quicksand's pulling me down. I follow the signs so clearly, And still they caught me The quicksand's pulling me down. I follow the signs so clearly, And still I've fallen The quicksand's pulling me down. I know you can feel me rising, I'm on fire If you keep on pulling me up. Look at my life, and look at my face, Look where I've come to get to this place with you. Being here to sit and lay at your feet and rest in your arms And listen to your heart beat. (Ohhh...)

Take me away, take me away You said that you were gonna stay But you're always lying anyway You're gonna suffer if you don't start breathing now Now that I need you, you're goin' away Everyday, sinking into quicksand Follow me down the drain But it doesn't matter anyway You're gonna get yours any day And while you put the blame on me If you could only see yourself as others see Now that I need you, you're goin' insane Everyday, sinking into quicksand Follow me down the drain Everyday, drinking in the same bar Drowning my sorrows away Take me away, take me today Or I'm never gonna get away But it makes no difference to me It's just the sound of one more rock star bleedin' out Now that I need you, you're out of the frame Day by day, sinking into quicksand Follow me down the drain Everyday, drinking in the same bar Made mine the same again

Into the quicksand Into this dark land We're running out of time At this rate we won't survive I reach out to you But you don't want me to I guess by now the truth As long as I'm in with you It feels like the two of us Just keep sinking I've had to hang on for dear life to save us dreaming Into the quicksand Into this dark land We're running out of time At this rate we won't survive I reach out to you But you don't want me to I guess by now the truth As long as I'm in with you It feels like the two of us Just keep sinking I've had to hang on for dear life to save us dreaming Into the quicksand Into this dark land We're running out of time At this rate we won't survive I reach out to you But you don't want me to I guess by now the truth As long as I'm in with you It feels like the two of us Just keep sinking I've had to hang on for dear life to save us dreaming It feels like the two of us Just keep sinking I've had to hang on for dear life to save us dreaming

You're stranded in the desert Ain't gonna be no rescue tonight My telephone is ringing But me and it are havin' a fight Don't wanna hear your misery Talkin' to me in my sleep Tellin' me your kisses are destiny When you act like a creep Stay on the other side In the universe of crazy lies There's a whole world waitin' down below And now you're sinkin' in, in my quicksand In my quicksand Don't send a messenger My lights are on but nobody's home You could smother it with money But really, you should leave me alone For all the days of romancin' me I am so over it All these definitions of ecstasy Is how my fuse got lit Stay on the other side In the universe of crazy lies There's a whole world waitin' down below And now you're sinkin' in, in my quicksand In my quicksand Mmmmmm... Mmmmmmm... Mmmmmm... Mmmmmmm... I can see you sinkin' down Wave goodbye you're going down Stay on the other side In the universe of crazy lies There's a whole world waitin' down below And now you're sinkin' in, in my quicksand In my quicksand In my quicksand Going down... Down, down, down Down mmmmm... I can see you sinkin' I can see you sinkin' down

It's about time, we need to feel better It's about time we made you feel worse It's about time we helped yourself out It's about time we came to Earth I can't seem to keep my mind off you I can't seem to settle down Can't seem to stop this movie Can't seem to find your town We are quicksand Slow love, false hands We are quicksand Just tryin' to break through Slide, slide I feel you near me now Cycles of attrition When will you know if we are doomed? When will you know that the floods will come? When will you know how we'll freeze up or run? When will you know if the song's been sung? We are quicksand Slow love, false hands We are quicksand Just tryin' to make it through We are soldiers No one told us We are soldiers We die for what we do The devil was dark I'm an isolator I figure some of them lie When I first taste her I'd rather be an alien I'd rather be outside I've been around the building I'll never let you slide, slide Slide, slide I feel you near me now Slide Cycles of attrition Slide I feel you near me now Slide Cycles of attrition We are quicksand Slow love, false hands

How did we let it all come to nothing? (Nothing) Feeling like I should've been feeling something (something) Lately, I've been puttin' it off to see if (to see if) You'd come back crawling The floor is falling out So don't you hold me if you don't wanna know me Don't you play dumb when I see what you run from So don't you leave me empty when it's only in my eyes How do you feel the same without me? How do you feel the same when I don't sleep? Somehow found me, but you still doubt me How do you feel the same without me? Call me when you know you're feeling lovesick (lovesick) Or you can call it off when you see that I ain't shit (I ain't shit) Lately, I've been putting it off to see you Don't come back crawling The floor is falling out So don't you hold me if you don't wanna know me Don't you play dumb How do you feel the same without me? How do you feel the same when I don't sleep? Somehow found me, but you still doubt me How do you feel the same without me? So don't you hold me If you don't wanna know me So don't you leave me empty When it's only in my eyes How do you feel the same without me? How do you feel the same when I don't sleep? Somehow found me, but you still doubt me How do you feel the same without me? How do you feel? How do you feel Without me?

My daughters and my sons I fear our end has come Don't stay awake just to find it's too late To turn back time I'm sorry if it hurts But I won't speak one word My mind is confined, draped in chains The voices I hear echo Crash and burn Promise I won't return Faster I crash and burn The more that I lose concern The surface of the sun Too close to not be touched Hold me in place while I disintegrate And turn to dust I don't wanna die having wasted all my time On hating those I've hurt Tears fill my eyes, oh, it stings The earth will turn while you sing Crash and burn Promise I won't return Faster I crash and burn The more that I lose concern Crash and burn Won't return Crash and burn The more I lose concern Watch me as I fall Safe and sound My sick thoughts The one you loved Forever lost Crash and burn Down on my knees Alone in my prison Crash and burn Reaching that there is nothing Held in place I disintegrate Feel my heart start to separate One last look to remember me There is nothing There is nothing left Held in place I disintegrate Feel my heart start to separate One last look to remember me There is nothing left

How could you hope for me to be safe When you're judging me from the front of the cage Hell isn't make believe It's the silence that lasts between you and me I'm living in a battle Between your faith and my dismay You're living in a chapel But treating me like your personal plague Drown in the water Burn in the fire God was not the one that ever hold me together Lead the way to crucify, will it lead you to heaven? Hell isn't make believe It's the silence that lasts between you and me You pray when there's a crisis with folded hands, down on your knees The crisis undeserving if you don't practice what you preach You used to know me but you let go slowly It must be lonely, being so holy Drown in the water Burn in the fire God was not the one that ever hold me together Lead the way to crucify, will it lead you to heaven? You used to know me but you let go slowly Words written by the hands of man, and you call it divine intervention Gates of ivory Don't fall, don't fall Gates of ivory, don't fall from your tower It must be lonely, being so holy Drown in the water Burn in the fire God was not the one that ever hold me together Lead the way to crucify, will it lead you to heaven? Drown in the water Burn in the fire (Burn in the fire) Gates of ivory Don't fall, don't fall

I walk in the room, and I can't conceive it The hospital bed, you're fighting to breathe in I'm holding your hand but it's losing color I know you weren't ready to go Where you are now, God only knows I guess Heaven really needed you To leave us in that vacant room A different you that's doing well A universe laid parallel A hundred things that I could lose Not one of them could lead to you A different version of yourself A universe laid parallel A panic attack at five in the morning We bury the dead without any warning It hits me in waves, the lack of color I know you weren't ready to go Where you are now, God only knows I guess Heaven really needed you To leave us in that vacant room A different you that's doing well A universe laid parallel A hundred things that I could lose Not one of them could lead to you A different version of yourself A universe laid parallel

Hold me in a dim-lit world So I can learn how bad it hurts Open up the vacant door When I am lost without you It's criminal to feel like this The fear to know that you won't live Held you as your heartbeat stopped Now heaven's arms surround you It's lonely in the aftermath The tired souls that bend 'til they crack Your final breath, I can't accept That you and I will both never speak again Hold me in a dim-lit world So I can sink into the earth Buried in my darkest thoughts I'm always lost without you So give me all you cannot take I promise I can hold your weight When you can learn to disappear We let that love surround you It's lonely in the aftermath The tired souls that bend 'til they crack Your final breath, I can't accept That you and I will both never speak again Dark sun Cover the world in midnight eternal Dark sun Leave me alone when I need it most I know you can't come back I know you can't come back
