Quicksand

(album: Coast Is Clear - 2022)

On and on, I never let go
One more scratch and claw from answers
I don't want to know in case I forgot
Here to let me know one day soon
I'll have to reap the seeds I've sewn
One more time, that's all I get

Forget my name, I don't exist
Everything fucking hurts
Bite my tongue clench my fists
I've grown an inch or two
Your sand is sinking quick

I'm feeling the burnout
I've got nothing left
I battled my demons
Yours will come to collect
I refuse to devote any more energy
I'm learning to let go
Will somebody save me?

On and on, I still can't let go
Pushing past my limits
Now the seams have come un-sewn
I never was taught
I learned when I was grown
You can't ever look back
Once the curtain's shown
Connected only by a heart beat

I know you can only see so much
From the back seat
Memories all of them you can keep
You can't keep your lies straight
You're in too deep

I'm feeling the burnout
I've got nothing left
I battled my demons
Yours will come to collect
I refuse to devote any more energy
I'm learning to let go
Will somebody save me?

And I'm learning to let this go
I don't think it's hard to waste all of this time
Will somebody save me
With the focus still on my own
Try to read what lies between those broken lines
Will somebody save me?

Feeling the burn out
I got nothing left to give
Feeling the burn out
Save me
Feeling the burn out
I got nothing left to give
Feeling the burn out
Save me
