Lyrics
I'm sinking in the quicksand around my house
I feel trapped in a difficult situation around my home.
And going nowhere fast
I'm not making progress, stuck and stagnant.
I know just what they say
I understand what people say about challenges.
That kicking only brings you deeper
Attempts to overcome difficulties may worsen the situation.
And I'm trying to be happy
Despite trying to be happy, I'm drawn to cheaper substances.
But the substances are cheaper
Using substances with friends in a carefree manner.
And I'm tripping with my friends
Experiencing altered states with friends, laughter in nature.
And we are laughing in a field
I'll guide my friends, even risking my own safety.
I'll lead the way to try to get my friends to safety
Falling into a difficult situation myself.
When I fall in
No one is there to help when I'm in trouble.
And no one's fishing for me
Except for you.
But you
You saved my life.
You saved my life
-You saved my life
Continuing to struggle and sink.
And I'm sinking
Trying to reach for help.
And I'm reaching
Hands can't reach the air, feeling helpless.
But my hands won't reach the air
Too far gone for others to care about my situation.
I'm far too gone for you to care
Realizing no remorse for past actions.
And now I realize
Despite the hardships, no regret for my choices.
That I'm not sorry for what I've done
Acknowledging the challenges endured.
And after everything you put me through
Acknowledging the difficulties imposed by someone.
Just know
Despite hardships, I know what people say about challenges.
I know just what they say
Attempts to overcome difficulties may worsen the situation.
That kicking only brings you deeper
Despite trying to be happy, I'm drawn to cheaper substances.
And I'm trying to be happy
Experiencing the negative effects of substance use alone.
But the substances are cheaper
Feeling disoriented and avoiding facing reality.
And I'm strung out in my room
Someone advises to smile, but I avoid it.
And the four walls are spinning circles
Falling into a difficult situation alone.
He'll tell me the flash a smile
No one is there to help when I'm in trouble.
But I turn my face away
Except for you.
When I fall down
You wrecked my life.
And no one's twisting for me
Plunged back into a challenging situation with nothing left.
But you
Continuing to sink and struggle.
You wrecked my life
Trying to reach for help.
Put me back in quicksand 'til there's nothing left
Hands can't reach the air, feeling helpless.
(NOTHING)
Too far gone for others to care about my situation.
And I'm sinking
Realizing no remorse for past actions.
And I'm reaching
Despite the hardships, no regret for my choices.
But my hands won't reach the air
Acknowledging the challenges endured.
I'm far too gone for you to care
Acknowledging the difficulties imposed by someone.
And now I realize
Despite hardships, I know what people say about challenges.
That I'm not sorry for what I've done
Attempts to overcome difficulties may worsen the situation.
And after everything you put me through
Despite trying to be happy, I'm drawn to cheaper substances.
Just know
Experiencing the negative effects of substance use alone.
