lyrics

She's a rover and a pleaser
Says she knows you when she meets you
Shifts her shape to match the void you want her to fill

Breaks you down with misdirection
Builds it back at her discretion
Decorates your world without a thought of your will

That girl is quicksand
She’s got her tricks and
She’ll draw you into her spell

So here’s your warning
That when it’s morning
She’ll drop the saccharine shell

Feel the colors pull you nearer
Catch you in the funhouse mirror
Stretch you out to fill the mold you never did cast

What’s her name you don’t remember
Is it May is it December
What mementos disappeared again from your past

She’s before you with the lights out
As she infiltrates your hideout
Weaving with the fabric of the night
A dreamcatcher pulled tight

And as she climbs upon the table
Shaking loudly, so unstable
You cry out for someone else to see
The man you used to be

That girl is quicksand
She’s got her tricks and
She’ll draw you into her spell

So heed my warning
And when it’s morning
Get out, away from your hell
