Quicksand

There is vital release in the eye of the storm
It's in this crushing silence where I seek my reform
Chaos rages around me - panic swallows me whole
I'm thirsty for some miracle or a shred of control

I carry these secrets with elegant ease
While time erases all my memories

I sink deeper into sorrow, deeper into blame
Can love ascend from quicksand, like the phoenix from the flame?
Tell me, is the suffering so sweet we choose to keep in near?
And will anybody know that we were here?

All our words come out petty - we've heard each one already
The aftermath of shattered hopes is pulling me down
In this graveyard of old dreams, I wish it away
But how swiftly we surrender to the strength of our decay

My eyes are like oceans of tears never cried
I break beneath the weight of all that I hide

I sink deeper into sorrow, deeper into blame
Can love ascend from quicksand, like the phoenix from the flame?
Tell me, is the suffering so sweet we choose to keep in near?
And will anybody know that we were here?

I've sent an SOS to you
I pray that you'll come find me soon
My sunlight longs to shine on higher ground

Yeah, yeah, yeah, uh huh
Ooh ooh

I'm paralyzed by promises unkept and things unsaid
As night erases better days from my head

I sink deeper into sorrow, deeper into blame
Can love ascend from quicksand, like the phoenix from the flame?
Tell me, is the suffering so sweet we choose to keep in near?
And will anybody know that we were here?
And will anybody know that we were here?
Uh huh, oh

Can you save me from the quicksand with your love?
Will you save me from the quicksand?
