Carolina Quicksand

I was trying to find my own way Through the darkness of night Searching for a ray of hope To be my guiding light I would close my eyes to pray For strength to face all my fights The roaring sound of silence Seemed to be the only replies I felt as if I was falling Something was pulling me in As soon as the dust had settled I felt I was being crushed from within Couldn't seem to help it I blame my desperate heart The weight of being lonely I thought was my greatest sin Till I was stuck there fighting In that Carolina quicksand I was minding my own business Not looking for anyone Then you walked on in And my heart had just begun To beat a little faster My head started to spin With every breath I took I felt the start of us begin Soon, you had me falling Pulling me right in As the dust began to settle I began to cave within Couldn't seem to help it I had to blame it on my heart Ohhh the weight of lovin you May just be my greatest sin Now I'm stuck here lying Pulling me right in, quicksand Ohhh I should have known I was misguided I blame myself for being blinded Your mask of perfection hid your true persona Of the part you tried to play But instead, I should have known better Pretentiousness you thought was clever Instead really made me see the other side Beneath the surface a heart so cold and wide Consuming up anything you could pull inside Your heart is truly like the Carolina quicksand Feeling lost and broken Like a bird with no wings to fly The pain is like a token Of all the tears I cried Your rage would often break out Causing ugly fights What I was blinded by and wanted Now had me trapped and pinned I can barely breathe at all Suffocated by the Carolina quicksand Yeah you had me falling Pulling me right in As the dust began to settle I was caving from the outside in Couldn't seem to leave Without it tearing me apart Ohhh the weight of loving you May have been my greatest sin Now I'm stuck here fighting Pulling me right in, quicksand Ohhh the weight of loving you May be my greatest sin Now I'm left here dying In the Carolina quicksand
