QUICKSAND DAYS

WALKING THROUGH A ROAD OF GLUE
TWO STEPS FORWRDS THREE STEPS BACK
LIVING LIFE IN SLOW MOTION
ANOTHER YEAR ON THE TREADMILL

EVERY JOURNEY SEEMS UPHILL
WITH NO RESPITE FROM THE WIND
RUNNING FAST JUST TO JUST TO STAND STILL
GOING ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE FAST

GETTING USED TO THESE QUICKSAND DAYS
WHAT ELSE IS ONE SUPPOSED TO DO
GOING DOWN WITH THESE QUICKSAND DAYS
TREACHERY COMES IN MANY DIFFERENT SHADES

TREADING WATER DAY IN DAY OUT
RESIGNATION TO YOUR FATE
SINKING 'NEATH THE WEIGHT OF IT ALL
NEVER SEEING THE END IN SIGHT

CHASING AFTER OUR TAILS
IN EVER DECREASING CIRCLES
WALKING THROUGH A ROAD OF GLUE
TWO STEPS FORWARDS THREE STEPS BACK
