Quicksand Blues

ErnieDawg

In a quicksand pit your mind slowly gets taken under the control of fear

There is no way out and upon your cheek falls a single tear

No branch to pull yourself up so you're destined to gently sink

In this state of confusion you can't rationally make the brain think

Waist high now and soon it will reach up around your throat

One of the last things you wish is that you could enjoy a smoke

You taste grit as the sand slowly enters upon your lips

I should have watch more closely as now I'm in a world of shit.
