It's Not Pretty
Confessions in Quicksand: It's Not Pretty
Lyrics
Feverish nightmares have forced me to make bad decisions
Feverish nightmares have led to poor decision-making.
These late hours spent on the inside confuse my mind
Late hours spent in confinement are causing mental confusion.
Time is stretching, as the walls move in closer
Time feels prolonged, and the surroundings are closing in.
My mind is a sea of quicksand, and I'm sinking deeper.
The mind is like a sea of quicksand, and the person is sinking deeper into difficulty.
This is no place to be, and it's difficult to leave
The current situation is undesirable, and leaving it is challenging.
And I don't want you to see, what I'm hiding underneath
There's a desire to hide something beneath the surface from others.
Uncertainty is the ground, which I stand upon
Uncertainty is the unstable foundation on which the person stands.
Unawareness is the map, which has guided me here
Unawareness has been the guiding force leading to the current state.
The voices on the inside tell me, what to do
Internal voices dictate actions, leading to potential harm to others.
I'll do, what I should not and end up hurting you
The person acknowledges doing things they shouldn't, causing harm to someone else.
This is no place to be, and it's difficult to leave
The situation is challenging to leave, and there's a desire to keep the hidden aspects concealed.
And I don't want you to see, what I'm hiding underneath
There's reluctance to reveal what is concealed beneath the surface.
It's not pretty on the inside, all my thoughts are not worthwhile
The internal state is not attractive, and the thoughts don't have value.
It's a pity that I deny, I've abandoned all my pride
Regret for denying the unpleasant truth and abandoning pride.
It's not pretty on the inside, but I'll have to just reside
The internal state is unattractive, but acceptance is necessary.
It's a pity that I deny, I will speak, but I will misguide
Regret for denying the truth and a willingness to misguide when speaking.
This is no place to be, and it's difficult to leave
The current situation is not suitable, and leaving it remains difficult.
And I don't want you to see, what I'm hiding underneath
Reluctance to reveal what is concealed beneath the surface persists.
