Slow sinking feeling kills the mood you're conveying
and it pulls me far down below it might be best if you go
can it not wait and hope for the best
will it stop a while to rest
I need to get up never mind cause I've done enough

the world waits around but I keep slipping and losing ground
do I not try so hard so good
I can't keep changing just because you think I should

said all I need to and you don't understand still
wish you saw picture my minds eyes are deep and they're cynical
one taken for more kills the pain healing that sore
I've taken what's left I took it all
and now you won't let me forget

stop you're talking down
I lack the strength to sit or stand
I lost my self confidence
in the quicksand

not now or ever
sink slowly my treasure

the world waits around but I keep slipping and losing ground
do not try so hard so good
I can't keep changing just because you think I should
