[ VERSE 1 ]

Empty tears run numb into shallow pools of nothingness 
While I keep my cool to warm the pain with smiles that lay blankets on my face 

Cheeks of pink impurities 
Mixed with happiness 
That’s laced skin deep 

[ PRE-CHORUS ]

I’m in at the waist 
You pulled me, you fooled me
I fell into the quicksand of your love 

[ CHORUS ]

(1) And when push comes to shove 
Will you be there?
When I’m stranded in the middle of somewhere
Will you be there? 
Don’t leave me and my questions unanswered 

(2) Miles to go, walking alone
Miles to go, walking alone 
The nights are cold 

[ VERSE 2 ]

Echos of honied memories 
I can’t leave the shadows behind
Because I let the darkness take control 
It’s fingers wrapped around my neck 

The skeletons are melted in 
Molded to show the outside world 
A grin, opposite to an inner universe that’s caving in 

[ PRE-CHORUS ]

And I’m in at the waist 
You pulled me, you fooled me 
I fell into the quicksand of your love 

[ CHORUS ]

(1) And when push comes to shove 
Will you be there? 
When I’m stranded in the middle of somewhere
Will you be there?
Don’t leave me and my questions unanswered

[ BRIDGE ]

Miles to go, down an empty road
Miles to go, down an empty road
Walking with my ghost 

[ CHORUS ]

(2) Miles to go, walking alone
Miles to go, walking alone 
The nights are cold 

[ VERSE 3 ]

And when push comes to shove 
You won’t be there.
If I’m stranded in the middle of somewhere
You won’t be there.
Questions left unanswered is the answer.

The truth shall set you free
Give you the wings to leave 
I got out by myself
Holding my own hand
No longer stuck in the quicksand of your love 

[ PRE-CHORUS ]

And I was in at the waist
You pulled me, you fooled me
I fell into the quicksand of your love 

[ OUTRO ]

Miles to go, miles to go 
When push comes to shove 
When push comes to shove
Walking alone, walking alone
When push comes to shove
When push comes to shove 
The nights are cold, the nights are cold
