Quicksand

Nicole Glass 1987 (Illinois)

Ballad
The weight is heavy
It makes it hard to breathe
Hard to find the path to take
Heart is pounding
Head is aching
Soul is searching
Feel so restless
Everything feels endless
Tossing and turning
Reaching out
But I'm sinking
I can't reach for help
Happening so fast
Drowning
Falling
Its like quicksand
Quicksand
