The Pretty Reckless
Quicksand
[Verse 1]
I'm closer to the Golden Dawn
Immersed in Crowley's uniform of imagery
I'm living in a silent film
Portraying Himmler's sacred realm of dream reality
I'm frightened by the total goal
I'm drawing to the ragged hole
And I ain't got the power anymore
No, I ain't got the power anymore

[Verse 2]
I'm the twisted name on Garbo's eyes
I'm living proof of Churchill's lies, I'm destiny
I'm torn between the light and dark
Where others see their target, divine symmetry

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Should I kiss the vipеr's fang
Or herald loud the death of man?
I'm sinking in thе quicksand of my thought
And I ain't got the power anymore

[Chorus]
Don't believe in yourself
Don't deceive with belief
Knowledge comes with death's release, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
[Verse 3]
I'm not a prophet or a stone age man
Just a mortal with potential of a superman, I'm living on
I'm tethered logic of Homo Sapien
Can't take my eyes from the great salvation of bullshit faith

[Pre-Chorus 2]
If I don't explain what you ought to know
You can tell me all about it on the next Bardo
I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought
And I ain't got the power anymore

[Chorus]
Don't believe in yourself
Don't deceive with belief
Knowledge comes with death's release, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Don't believe in yourself
Don't deceive with belief
Knowledge comes with death's release, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
Don't believe in yourself
Don't deceive with belief
Knowledge comes with death's release, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah
