The Venus in Scorpio - Quicksand

The record is stuck on repeat
There's Nothing left to say to me
I've got to change my ways
Before the shame goes up in flames
I silenced the ghosts that gave me away
I cannot keep this breathless demon happy
Guess all of my secrets have come out to play

Open casket for my
Wicked ways
That I've buried again
And This time I have
Got to let them burn

I made my amends
Tried not to be so shitty again
Never had no pride
So I taught myself to hide
It occurred to me
I do not know my body like
All of the other guys do
So just let that be your clue
I don't have any more of your time to waste
Trying to assign the blame

Open casket for my
Wicked ways
That I've buried again
And This time I have
Got to let them burn
This silence is turning me into a
Shell of a man
The memory's carved into my hand
This sentence is pulling me down and into the quicksand

There's nothing a quick fix can't fight
And it's
More than I can take for tonight
Surrender my anguish and equivocations
To you
To do what you like

Open casket for my
Wicked ways
That I've buried again
And This time I have
Got to let them burn
This silence is turning me into a
Shell of a man
The memory's carved into my hand
This sentence is pulling me down and into the quicksand
Into the quicksand
Into the quicksand
This silence is pulling me down
