Virginia Coalition - Quicksand Lyrics

In a lonely shadow, he finds the key

Demanding light to set him free

He knows that things aren't what they always seem to mean

See it all in a different light

You know everything you heard is true

And I'll ride off with your soul tonight

If that's alright with you



I've got half a mind to make it whole

Make it whole again

And the shadow that I'm chasing is my only friend

And I'm sinking in the quicksand

Cause I never found a place to stand

And Lord knows, finally I'm a man



Everybody's got souls to blame

But the shadows keep it in ache

My eyes have seen the glory

But it's lost with every step you take

Finally you'll know what's wrong

When the gift that keeps on giving's gone

But in between these mountains and you

His soul's still trying to shine again



I've got half a mind to make it whole

Make it whole again

And the shadow that I'm chasing is my only friend

We're sinking in the quicksand

Cause I never found a place to stand

And, oh, finally I'm a man
