OK, I hate to take someone else's words, but... listening to a podcast today (catching up really), they played a mix of Natalie Walker's "Quicksand" (Thievery Corporation Remix). Not only an excellent song, the lyrics hit me. Quite simple, yet very powerful. I thought I'd share. Check it out on itunes if you can - what a voice.
I must have been so stupid
I must have been so out of touch
He must have been so clever
Convincing me that this was really love
Desperate for words
Lost in a maze
It fell apart
I lost my place
It hurt so bad
I cried for days
Time healed all pain
Now I’m okay
How many times can my heart break
Disillusioned by the thought of flawless love
Will I ever get there
Or am I drowning in quicksand
With no relief to come
Desperate for words
Lost in a maze
It fell apart
I lost my place
It hurt so bad
I cried for days
Time healed all pain
Now I’m okay
I’ll rise from all my sorrow
Let the sun shine on my face
I’ll rise from all my sorrow
I’ll let the sun shine on my face
All alone in comfort
It’s my solitude I will embrace
All alone in comfort
It’s my solitude I will embrace
I will rise from my sorrow… (repeat)
