Quicksand Jesus by Skid Row

She caught the melting sky, it burned but still
The winter passes by and by to the other side
A slow parade of wind that blows through trees
That wilted with the seasons children

Are we saved by the words of bastard saints?
Do we live in fear or faith?
Tell me now, who's behind the rain?

A maze of tangled grace
The symptoms are for real are crumbling from embrace
But still we chase the shadows of belief
A new religion, clouds our visions and the roots of the souls

Are we ashamed of our own fate?
Or play the fool for our own sake
Tell me, who's behind the rain?

What do we need? Where do we go?
When we get, where we don't know
Why should we doubt the virgin white of fallen snow?
When faced without shelter from the cold

What do we need? Where do we go?
When we get where we don't know
Why should we doubt the virgin white of fallen snow?
When faced without shelter from the cold

Quicksand Jesus, I'm so far away without you
Quicksand Jesus, I'm so far away without you
Quicksand Jesus, I'm so far away, away
Quicksand Jesus, I'm so far away

Quicksand Jesus, I need you
Quicksand Jesus, I believe you
Quicksand, I'm so far away
Send me away
