Stagnation of the Quagmire

[Verse]
The mud it clings like a jealous friend
No path to take no line to bend
A whisper hangs in the heavy air
Promises broken left to despair
[Chorus]
Oh the quagmire pulls me slow
No place to run no way to go
Stuck in silence shadows play
Another lost and endless day
[Verse 2]
The reeds they choke like ancient hands
Grasping tight in sinking sands
Each step I take just pulls me deep
Dreams of freedom I cannot keep
[Chorus]
Oh the quagmire pulls me slow
No place to run no way to go
Stuck in silence shadows play
Another lost and endless day
[Bridge]
A raven laughs above the mire
Mocking hope and all desire
Its wings beat black against the sky
While here I stay as days crawl by
[Chorus]
Oh the quagmire pulls me slow
No place to run no way to go
Stuck in silence shadows play
Another lost and endless day
