lyrics

Quicksand

citizen of the world
twisted torn and twirled
strangers in disguise
dwell inside your eyes
they have seen too much
they have been too kind
like a wounded dog
they'll be left behind

Keeper of the peace
monotheist police
inflicting untold pain
you did it in god's name
you have rolled the dice
bluffed and cheated too
maxed out credit cards
your payments now overdue

like building castles on quicksand
with hope against hope there’s a master plan

Seeker of the truth
broke her wisdom tooth
wrote misguided books
charmed us with her looks
they got you pretty far
critically acclaimed
self-made superstar
all for the wealth all for the fame

like building castles on quicksand
with hope against hope there’s a master plan
