Kim Beggs | Lyrics from Streetcar Heart
 
Quicksand Man
 
by Kim Beggs
 

You're not alone
It didn't take long,
you were never alone
From bakery to bakery,
no walkin' in between
Did you even feel me go?
 
I still feel it
The piercin' in my heart
The only other time
I ever felt so bad
Was when I thought
it was good to be with you
 
Did you ever walk the talk?
Pseudo-feminist intellectual
Quicksand man from academia
Sucked me right in
 
We went out one night
I finally gave into your calls
You spoke so well
I couldn't even hear what
My guts were telling me
 
Did you even see me?
Was it only yourself
you could see?
Did I only reflect you weakness?
Oh baby, you weren't ready for me
 
I need freedom
I need relief within my heart
Truth respect and excitement
And a love to go a long, long way
