Quicksand Lyrics

Dinosaur Jr.

Im closer to the golden dawn
I cant believe the wagons gone
Its history
Im living in a callous realm
Where others seem to dig it
Just too much reality
Im frightened by the total goal
Im drawing to the ragged hole
And I aint got the wagon anymore
No, I aint got the wagon anymore
Im the twisted name on umas eyes
Im living proof of cindys lies
Of destiny
Im drawing between the light and dark
Where others see their targets
I cant see anything
Should I leave the engine on
To listen to that mountain song
Sinking in the quicksand of my thoughts
And I aint got the wagon anymore
Dont believe in yourself
Dont deceive with belief
The knowledge comes with deaths release
Oh, oh, oh, oh...
Not too stable
Hanging by a string
Cant face the thoughts
No wheels will bring
I gotta go
Its bad enough being at home
Without a way to leave the damage
Is gonna show
If I dont explain
What you oughta know
You can tell me all about it
At the next ball show
Im sinking in the quicksand of my thoughts
And I aint got the power anymore
Dont believe in yourself
Dont deceive with belief
The knowledge comes with deaths release
Oh, oh, oh, oh...
Dont believe in yourself
Dont deceive with belief
The knowledge comes with deaths release
Oh, oh, oh, oh...
Dont believe in yourself
Dont deceive with belief
The knowledge comes with deaths release
Oh, oh, oh, oh...
