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 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

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’ve 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
Maybe quicksand
Gotta think who do you belong to
What kind of prism do you see your life through
Maybe quicksand
This may be quicksand
Maybe 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 till 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’ve 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
Maybe quicksand
Gotta think who do you belong to
What kind of prism do you see your life through
Maybe quicksand
This may be quicksand
Maybe quicksand
This may be quicksand
