The Pretty Reckless ft. Mike Garson - Quicksand Lyrics

I'm closer to the golden dawn
Immersed in Crowley's uniform of imagery
I'm living in a silent film
Portraying Himmler's sacred realm of dream reality

I'm frightened by the total goal
I'm drawing to the ragged hole
And I ain't got the power anymore
No, I ain't got the power anymore

I'm a twisted name on Garbo's eyes
I'm living proof of Churchill's lies
I'm destiny
I'm torn between the light and dark
Where others see the targets divine symmetry

Should I kiss the viper's fang?
Or herald loud the death of man?
I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought
And I ain't got the power anymore

Don't believe in yourself
Don't deceive with belief
Knowledge comes with death's release
Ahh, ahh

I'm not a prophet or a stone-age man
Just a mortal with potential of a super man
I'm living on
I'm tethered logic of Homosapien
Can't take my eyes from the great salvation of bullshit faith

If I don't explain what you ought to know
You can tell me all about it on the next bardo
I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought
And I ain't got the power anymore

Don't believe in yourself
Don't deceive with belief
Knowledge comes with death's release
Ahh, ahh

Don't believe in yourself
Don't deceive with belief
Knowledge comes with death's release
Ahh, ahh

Don't believe in yourself
Don't deceive with belief
Knowledge comes with death's release
Ahh, ahh
