QUICKSAND
self-titled
1. Omission
I, said,
Why do I always have to spell it out for you?
Our story is always changing.
We change it to hide the pain.
And when the truth rears,
its ugly head, it’s all too late.
Too late for the omission,
that you kept inside and wished it wasn’t you.
Does it seem like the same man?
Doesn’t seem the same at all.
I can feel myself fall,
falling, down.
You can wave goodbye to your bad side,
and suppress the feelings that could hurt you mind.
There is no need for lies if the news ain’t breaking.
Framework falling,
down on the downside,
built on a weak spot,
facts hiding in your mind,
wait until the bomb drops.
We have more sense than lies.
The story is in our eyes.
Does it seem like the same man?
Doesn’t seem the same at all.
I can feel myself fall,
falling, down on the downside, built on a weak spot, facts hiding in your mind, wait until the bomb drops.
It doesn’t seem like the same man?
Doesn’t seem the same at all.
I can feel myself fall,
falling, down.
2. Clean Slate
Envy of, a sense of true identity, a sign of confidence to see.
Because when she said "I love that music, too,"
she meant, "Only as long as you want me too."
So sad, we don't see, until we become what they want us to be.
It's too late.
I don't know why,
but what they want me to do,
I do it.
Powered by wealth,
changing myself,
and if they only knew that I knew it.
And it seems that the real life will have to wait,
because the world's so busy,
so busy, cleaning a clean slate.
Oh.
Ahh, hoping to find what's mine,
so I can lead a full life,
use a knife,
and dig in like a cannibal.
Out for,
for myself, but all the things I want are serving someone else.
I don't know why,
but what they want me to do,
I do it.
Powered by wealth,
changing myself,
and if they only knew that I knew it.
And it seems that the real life will have to wait.
As the world keeps cleaning, it's cleaning.
The spin cycle runs round.
A clear decision can be found.
Can't think when my mind,
my mind runs 'round.
3. Unfulfilled
To stand the test of time,
to stand alone.
To be without the glue,
that keeps us glued together.
And feeling so excrementable.
It only goes to show you,
how many ways you don’t know you.
When the bad sets in,
I could use some sleep.
Resting, falling,
falling deeper than deep.
We miss the point to carry on,
we miss the point.
To carry on where.
Things you love but did not get.
And all the times you’ve been upset by,
unfulfilled dreams and visions,
and the guilt for your wrong decisions.
It’s so hard to pry away.
Pry out from under all the lies,
and distractions of the world,
You’ve seen what they can do,
but you can’t see your way out.
We miss the point to carry on.
All thing fall through.
That how it feels, when you hear the sound of disappointment.
So unsatisfied,
when the sight's set higher.
Some can’t achieve, don’t believe,
there is light at the end at all.
There’s no light.
Time to reach out for what’s real,
it’s easy to miss, insist,
that you shouldn’t always follow the first thing you feel.
4. Hypno Jam With Dan
This song is instrumental.
slip
1. Fazer
Standing like a sore thumb, out,
notice your image is different.
Traits that change, it's just too quick,
follow on clues and guess what, that's what, it's like.
Follow your ups and downs,
it's safe to say that I can't tell.
All sense aside.
Left out in the cold,
sight of your routine getting old.
Blame some indifference inside,
taken on shapes not to selective.
Just what you find.
Looking for seconds of peace of mind,
pieces of something to hold on to.
A job that you just can't hold down,
distracted for seconds, you're gone.
Follow your ups and downs,
it's safe to say that I can't tell.
All sense aside.
Left out in the cold,
sight of your routine getting old.
Blame some indifference inside,
taken on shapes not to selective.
Just what you find.
Where you find it.
Needing to find something,
is everything ok.
I hope you find your niche, someday soon.
Easy to change your phase,
to move from where you stand,
but you got to keep that face.
Each change you plan.
Wonder,
is everything ok,
the problem is hesitation.
2. Head to Wall
Relax in time,
from the pain you've been.
I don't know anything,
but I can read what's on your face.
Just on moment,
just one more to struggle.
We all want everything,
but we all can't fit in the door.
Seven tries,
head to wall,
hurts your head.
Sort of trust,
that you'll get.
What you paid for soon.
Seven tries,
head to wall,
just to get cut.
And it's only time,
it's what you make it.
I don't know what it brings.
Hope for the good, hope from despair.
A second, just on moment,
just one more to trust.
Some time you'll get to see,
you where you want to be.
Seven tries,
head to wall,
hurts your head.
Sort of trust,
that you'll get.
What you paid for soon.
Seven tries,
head to wall,
just to get cut.
It's what you break down.
It's just a second.
A thrown in towel is the first thing.
Can't tell if it's the time that your gonna throw.
Push through or you’ll never get,
to see what you gave up,
passed on.
Seven tries,
head to wall,
hurts your head.
Sort of trust,
that you'll get.
What you paid for soon.
Seven tries,
head to wall.
3. Dine Alone
It’s a cinch,
to, pass the time with you,
but hard to pass the time alone,
can you take it.
And it’s true,
true, the couple next to you think you look strange.
Alone, what are your aims,
or do you have any.
Avoid confusion.
You always know,
always know how much your paying.
I concentrate on,
on, what the people say,
the couple next to me.
Pass the salt,
pour it in my wounds.
It looks like you have no friends,
can’t keep up with the new trends.
Sorry, sorry, for myself I don’t agree.
No, I always go out eating with my best friends.
It’s less than normal.
Avoid confusion.
You always know,
always know how much your paying.
I concentrate on,
on, what the people say,
the couple next to me.
Avoid confusion.
You always know,
always know how much your paying.
I concentrate on,
on, what the people say.
I think at times.
4. Slip
Waist down, deep tied,
now it’s chest high.
Pressure pours down from the top down, all sides.
Something seeps down, inside,
you can’t suppress when it’s your want.
To revise, could have skipped the slide,
but you did not try.
Change it all when you get time.
When your first try’s not so bad.
Change it all when you get time.
Stay inside, it’s as safe as you can get.
Trust in sleep, your,
delivery from, what your feeling,
in the time, your awake.
Try to fake out yourself,
the second you get wind of,
what went wrong this time.
Could have skipped the slide,
but you did not try.
Change it all when you get time.
When your first try’s not so bad.
Change it all when you get time.
Stay inside, it’s as safe as you can get.
Safest from the life that you got.
Try to catch yourself,
you slipped, again.
Try to catch yourself,
you slipped, again.
But don’t let it keep you in.
5. Freezing Process
Taken to the brink of something.
Something, but we can’t know what.
To wait, to want, it’s so bad, and,
try something, and,
moving to slow,
to get where you want to go.
Looking for results,
you can’t begin, to,
find a way out from the cold,
place you’re in.
But it suits you,
your condition.
Symptoms that keep you in,
keep you from motion.
Until it’s cold,
slowing you down,
until you can’t go.
Taken by something,
but you can’t hold on to it,
you can’t.
It slips through your fingers,
slips through your hand.
Because they’re too cold,
can’t get a grip,
on what’s in your sight.
It’s like getting old.
It’s like getting told, to, sit, still.
But it suits you,
your condition.
Symptoms that keep you in,
keep you from motion.
Until it’s cold,
slowing you down,
until you can’t go.
It’s not me.
Is there something,
so wrong.
Process of depraving yourself,
of peace of mind.
6. Lie and Wait
Inequity solace,
in your driven sate.
Seize your right to earn the same.
She wants it.
How long must we wait,
before they take our side?
Sordid Practice,
engine overheated.
There’s no way to cool.
Turned up on your side,
the one that you choose.
Why should they mind,
scared of what your thinking.
A strong resistant.
Sunday feeling,
under weight of what’s to come.
Tired of living under thumb.
She wonders,
why did you say what you said.
Silently living is death.
Shout him down,
it’s worth it,
no compromises on this.
Turned up on your side,
the one that you choose.
Why should they mind,
scared of what your thinking.
Scared of what your thinking.
She wonders,
How long, have we been senseless.
So tired and pensive.
Instead of stand up,
stand to the side.
Feel a strong resistant.
7. Unfulfilled
To stand the test of time,
to stand alone.
To be without the glue,
that keeps us glued together.
And feeling so excrementable.
It only goes to show you,
how many ways you don’t know you.
When the bad sets in,
I could use some sleep.
Resting, falling,
falling deeper than deep.
We miss the point to carry on,
we miss the point.
To carry on where.
Things you love but did not get.
And all the times you’ve been upset by,
unfulfilled dreams and visions,
and the guilt for your wrong decisions.
It’s so hard to pry away.
Pry out from under all the lies,
and distractions of the world,
You’ve seen what they can do,
but you can’t see your way out.
We miss the point to carry on.
All thing fall through.
That how it feels, when you hear the sound of disappointment.
So unsatisfied,
when the sight's set higher.
Some can’t achieve, don’t believe,
there is light at the end at all.
There’s no light.
Time to reach out for what’s real,
it’s easy to miss, insist,
that you shouldn’t always follow the first thing you feel.
8. Can Opener
A trap to fall,
fall into easy,
believe in what you look like, outside.
A stain you can’t remove.
A stain that keeps you from that place,
where you’d probably have much left to prove.
Come down, don’t fall, over your ego.
Don’t mind your friends,
they just want to go where the fun goes down.
Yeah, you want to go up, up-up, up,
hip, hip, hooray, for you.
Now your the one that everyone talks about.
The attention your not getting it makes you so upset.
So take, me down,
to the place where you can look your best,
better than anyone else around.
A stain you can’t remove.
A stain that keeps you from that place,
where you’d probably have much less to prove.
Once you tried.
Once you tried,
tried to get it right,
but you couldn’t figure out what it takes,
to be liked,
you’re grown up.
And now you’ve gone back,
to find, a way, to get, along, it’s just, an act.
You can wipe that smile.
Now you’re the one that everyone talks about.
Take time, take it easy.
I know you work so hard,
but your advantage is your beauty,
and that’s beautiful.
Take time, take it easy.
I know you work so hard,
but you know what your advantage is,
and that’s beautiful,
and that’s beautiful,
and that’s beauty.
9. Omission
I, said,
Why do I always have to spell it out for you?
Our story is always changing.
We change it to hide the pain.
And when the truth rears,
its ugly head, it’s all too late.
Too late for the omission,
that you kept inside and wished it wasn’t you.
Does it seem like the same man?
Doesn’t seem the same at all.
I can feel myself fall,
falling, down.
You can wave goodbye to your bad side,
and suppress the feelings that could hurt you mind.
There is no need for lies if the news ain’t breaking.
Framework falling,
down on the downside,
built on a weak spot,
facts hiding in your mind,
wait until the bomb drops.
We have more sense than lies.

falling, down.
10. Baphomet
?
11. Too Official
Give someone some piece of your mind.
Shine it, shine what you’ve been assigned.
Has your identity sold out?
Sit in the back and make no sound,
this earth will swallow you down.
Honest it makes you sick.
You don’t act on what you think’s right.
Honestly want to kick down,
doors that keep you in.
Let your hair down.
Sometimes relax your stiff posture.
Or so they say, all work no play make you dull.
Chance to change the patterns we’re born to.
A fear of appearing too concerned,
try to speak, but the words just get stuck.
Honest it makes you sick.
You don’t act on what you think’s right.
Honestly want to kick down,
doors that keep you in.
Each time you get to raise your hand for changes you don’t know your luck,
so put yourself to use like,
you were taught by, by your heroes.
You speak your mind, that’s something.
You speak your mind, that’s something.
We don’t get it too often.
12. Transparent
Treating your days like a countdown.
Seconds pass by, waiting just to blow up,
and you get nothing done,
and this is what you want.
Lost touch and,
you turn your back and your some friend.
Sterile conversation,
learn to talk a good game.
Talk your way out,
it’s a sure thing.
Testing the ends of what they’ll put up with.
You got your chance to say what you wanted to.
But you never do,
stand up to the ones that keep you down,
now you can see right through it all.
Lost touch and,
tracing your steps you can’t begin.
You can’t start,
to say what your thinking and why not.
Talk your way out,
it’s a sure thing.
Testing the ends of what they’ll put up with.
Sticking it out ‘til you can’t get up.
How many times have you been pacified?
Accepting it when you’re told,
there’s no way,
making sure there never will.
Sticking it out ‘til you can’t get up.
How many times have you been pacified?
Accepting it when you’re told,
there’s no way,
making sure there never will.
Testing the ends of what they put up with.
13. How Soon Is Now?
I am the son,
and, the heir.
Of a shyness that was criminally vulgar.
Son, and heir.
Of nothing in particular.
Oh, shut your mouth.
How can you say,
I go about things the wrong way?
I'm human and I need to be loved,
like everyone,
like everyone does.
I am the son,
and, the heir.
Of a shyness that was criminally vulgar.
Son, and heir.
Of nothing in particular.
Of nothing in particular at all.
And you say its gonna happen now.
When exactly do you mean?
I've already waited to long,
and all my hope is gone.
There's a club if you'd like to go.
You might meet someone,
who really loves you.
So you go on your own,
and leave on your own,
and you go home,
and you cry and you wanna die.
manic compression
1. Backward
It’s all backward.
It’s all bad word.
Said to me by you.
How you misunderstand.
All, wrapped up,
in yourself.
Fall, who will pick you up
Walking backward,
this is my mistake, my mistake.
This is my mistake, my mistake.
I’m sorry dear,
I wish I could,
read your mind.
It’s my fault, how I misunderstand.
Now, don’t go changing,
trying to please me.
It will never work.
Walking backward.
This is my mistake.
Always backward.
This is my mistake, my mistake.
I can,
feel this, next,
upcoming crisis will be our,
last one.
I swear.
I swear.
Walking backward.
Walking backward.
Walking backward.
This is my mistake.
2. Delusional
Delusional,
I’m not impressed.
You want to, tell me, so bad,
who is on your guest list, tonight,
but I don’t care.
Save it for,
one of your,
other friends,
or your many fans.
Just think.
Just,
think solutional,
we have a problem.
We don’t care, who you know.
It’s too bad that you think so.
Next time you drop a name.
Save it for,
one of your,
other friends,
or your many fans.
Delusional,
I’m not impressed.
Illusional,
lies, you tell best,
and you want me to know,
but I can’t hear at all.
But I can’t hear at all.
I can’t hear at all.
But I can’t hear at all.
I can’t hear at all.
3. Divorce
I know just what your thinking.
You want someone to blame.
I know you well ‘cause,
I always feel the same.
We always look behind.
We always look behind.
Day in, day out.
The world is my witness.
Sick from my culture’s sickness.
Wish it would go away.
Do you feel the same?
We always look behind.
We always look behind.
I want to slow my mind,
down!
Something tells me,
it’s my cross to bear.
You can’t reach me,
you were never there.
It’s like water,
under a bridge now.
I’ve looked a thousand times.
We always look behind.
We always look behind.
Day in, day out.
4. Simpleton
It’s built,
up inside.
You’re on,
the verge of exploding.
Self less,
enough to say.
I meant what I said,
and I’m not even sorry.
What is to get?
It’s simple now.
Cut to the quick.
No misunderstanding.
You sit there,
on your side.
Don’t blame yourself,
blame it on your family.
Self less,
enough to tell.
If you walk away,
then I’m not running after.
What is to get?
It’s simple now.
Cut to the quick.
Don’t misunderstand.
I know you hate him,
‘cause you said you did.
How can you fake it?
It’s some misunderstanding.
Inside, your delivered from the stress.
You say that your fine,
but I think you’re wishing.
What is to get?
It’s simple now.
Cut to the quick.
Don’t misunderstand.
Don’t misunderstand.
Don’t misunderstand.
5. Skinny (it's overflowing)
I’m on the inside,
I’m on your side,
And each thought stings.
I can’t think straight.
It’s overflowing.
It’s overflowing.
It’s coming down.
It’s overflowing.
It’s sinking.
It’s overflowing.
It’s some savior,
you fall into.
And each love stings.
I can’t think straight.
It’s overflowing.
It’s overflowing.
It’s coming down.
It’s overflowing.
I’m sinking.
It’s overflowing.
It’s coming down.
It’s overflowing.
It’s sinking.
It’s overflowing.
It’s coming down.
6. Thorn In My Side
Thorn in, my side.
And you live just to pull me down.
Rusted, nail I stepped on.
This infection.
Thorn in my side.
You’re full,
I think so,
of anger.
You need to sit down,
stay down.
The things you, want but don’t get.
Is that fair, I don’t think so.
A sure thing, you can count, on.
A big depression.
A thorn in my side.
You’re full,
I think so,
of anger.
You need to.
Your praise, is two faced,
And you’re,
you’re cut down,
my friend.
Cut Down.
(One, two, three, four by Sergio Vega)
A thorn in my side, thorn in.
A thorn in my side, thorn in.
7. Landmine Spring
So this is what’s in store.
It doesn’t hurt to try.
There is no pain in death,
it only hurts to die.
The cut that stings.
Look before you leap.
All blown apart.
A landmine spring.
A landmine spring.
A landmine spring.
A landmine spring.
Did not expect this shit at all,
to go through this again.
What do you want from my life, I ask myself.
Loading my questions like a shotgun.
You can fuck every chance with one shot,
you think that’s the answer.
The cut that stings.
Look before you leap.
All blown apart.
A landmine spring.
A landmine spring.
A landmine spring.
All blown apart.
A landmine spring.
A landmine spring.
A landmine spring.
All blown apart.
Did not expect this shit at all,
to go through this again.
You live on your knees.
So this is what’s in store.
Pull your head up,
no one cares at all.
You fooled yourself in the past,
believing what you wanted to.
A landmine spring.
A landmine spring.
A landmine spring.
A landmine spring.
A landmine spring.
A landmine spring.
8. Blister
Kid, picked on, love, blinds him,
found, his own girlfriend.
It’s all he could ask for.
He doesn’t need,
his hands,
tied up,
to persuade, this kid,
Had got, it all, too good.
Bit, dust,
And, said I live for,
I live for you.
Trust, too much, this, is what, you,
get for this is just another lie,
just another liar.
He has his hands,
tied up,
to persuade, this kid,
had got, it all, too good.
Bit, dust,
and said, I live for.
I live for you.
Trust, bliss, date, faith, trust, hate, share it,
share it all with you.
I live for you.
9. Brown Gargantuan
It’s beginning.
Mother’s cord is severed.
I am falling.
Break free from dependence, down,
to take it.
I council whatever.
You take it and run,
60 Miles an hour.
And break, your way.
Trusting, holding the world in your hands.
It’s all gone,
it’s done, it’s over.
Passed on blame is over.
And your tears,
your tears don’t make me feel a thing.
It’s deeper, you’re a child,
you’re a dad, a mother.
You motherfucked yourself again.
And break, away, your trusting.
Who told you life was easy?
Life is a selfish thing.
Life is a selfless thing.
Life is a selfish thing.
Life is a selfless, thing.
All the days, you were dead,
dead wrong.
All the ways, you have said,
said wrong.
All of the same, mistakes you made,
wrong.
Look for excuses.
Wait for your big break.
I’m turning my leaf over.
Life is a selfless thing.
Life is a selfish thing.
Life is a selfless thing.
Life, is a selfish thing now.
10. East 3rd. Street
I was so sincere.
I see more clearly now.
I, trust new friends just like,
I can throw them.
Fading traces of a, future leader.
A summer squatting,
I know I won’t see them round next year.
And this is all over my head.
And this is all over my head.
Rain, it’s rain again, rain,
down on my parade.
I’m wrong, you’re right.
It’s not what you would do.
Rain.
Walk one mile in these shoes.
In these careless days,
you know who your friends are.
A saving grace.
A time to remember,
what you’ve taken,
and who you took from.
There’s no, mistaking,
what you give is what you get.
And this is all over my head.
And this is all over my head.
Rain, it’s rain again, rain,
down on my parade.
I’m wrong, you’re right.
It’s not what you would do.
Rain.
Walk one mile in these shoes.
Change of Red Guard, every summer.
They are handing, the park over.
An ideal, idealistic.
It’s not real,
it’s, just a trick.
Rain.
Play a judge.
All you want to.
It makes no difference to me.
It’s raining again.
It’s raining again.
It’s raining again.
11. Supergenius
Turn your face down,
it’s your chance to meet the man.
When you saw that,
tha’ nightstick hit his head.
Saw it fall, on his skull,
you heard the sound that it made.
Impressed by the sound,
he’s impressed with himself.
You stand in the way,
you’re the next one down.
Call it like you see it,
no muted witness.
You stand in the way,
you’re the next one down.
It might just break,
it just might break down.
It’s in the way,
that you stand up for right,
that’s why the old guard’s shaking.
It lets them know you’re there.
It lets them know,
that you can’t ignore, what you saw.
Lifting weights of conscious.
Story of tragic miscarriage.
You stand in the way,
you’re the next one down.
Call it like you see it,
no muted witness.
You stand in the way,
you’re the next one down.
It might just break,
just might break,
break down.
It just might take more than you have got.
Forgotten something,
aright you have got.
Stopping for nothing.
It might take more than you have got.
12. It would be cooler if you did
If, you turn, turn away,
I, can pretend, that you’ll stay.
If you want it.
If, you, want, I will.
Torn, in two, torn away.
I, could not look.
I wish you did.
If you want it.
If, you, want, I will.
If you really want it.
If you really want to.
All ways I want to burn,
set, fire to,
things that were not returned.
So take what you can get,
second chance might not come.
Or we can just stay dumb.
If really you want to.
I, I will.
If you really want to.
If you turn, away.
If you turn, turn away.
If you want to.
If you want to.
If you want to.
(Are we rolling?) |
