[Verse 1]

It's about time I made you feel better

It's about time I made you feel worse

It's about time you helped yourself out

It's about time you came to earth

I can't seem to keep my mind off you

I can't seem to settle down

I can't seem to stop this movie

I can't seem to find your town

[Chorus 1]

We are quicksand

Slow love, false hands

We are quicksand

Just tryin' to make it through

Slide, slide

I feel you near me now

Cycles of attrition

[Verse 2]

When will you know if we are doomed?

When will you know that the flocks will come?

When will you know how we'll freeze up or run?

When will you know if the song's been sung?

[Chorus 2]

We are quicksand

Slow love, false hands

We are quicksand

Just tryin' to make it through

We are soldiers

No one told us

We are soldiers

We die for what we do

[Bridge]

The devil was a dog

I'm an isolator

I think I saw the light

When I first taste her

I'd rather be an alien

I'd rather be outside

Been around the world and

I'll never let you

Slide, slide

Slide, slide

I feel you near me now

Slide

Cycles of attrition

Slide

I feel you near me now

Slide

Cycles of attrition

[Outro]

We are quicksand

Slow love, false hands
