Quicksand

Quicksand

In times like these, it feels like everybody is gone
In times like these, it feels like we're all alone

Most of the times in life we want to give up
Feel like crabs in Abasket, nobody won't let nobody up

Everybody laughs at you and conduct the feeble plans
Surrounded with hate, no one to give you a hand

Everything feels worthless at times it don't mean a thing
Thought you would make it, but get grief with these things

Nobody wanted to be around you because they hate your lifestyle
But they're wicked too and living too wild

No matter what you do, it feels like you're going nowhere
You're in a deep pit, it's like nobody don't care

There's not a good person left, honest people can't be found
They walk by you and they don't give a shit if you're feeling down

You're crying out loud but nobody hears your scream
You feel exhausted by sorrow, but life is not a dream

People gloat over your downfall and shake their heads
Nobody cares about you, they say you're better off dead

Many of your enemies make fun of you, glare at you with hate
You're sinking deeper into this pit and it's almost too late

The pit you're in, there's others in the same pit
Can't nobody help themselves because nobody can't grab a stick

Many see you in a deep pit and won't lend you a hand
Now you're going under because you're up to neck in quicksand
