When you come from a solid foundation
It freaks you out when the ground starts shakin'
And everything around you is breakin'
Mum was goin' crazy together to keep it
Dad's two lives, he was keepin' it a secret
When we found out, we couldn't believe it

We're all walking on quicksand
When we're busy makin' our plans
God laughs
We're all walking on quicksand
When we think that we understand, God laughs

I've been a sound board
Tryin' to be neutral
Born in the middle, it's hard to be useful
It's been hell, if I had to be truthful
OH! When people grow apart
And people can change
But it leaves a lotta mess
That someone's gotta clean up
It happened here to the family that I love

We're all walking on quicksand
When we're busy makin' our plans
God laughs
We're all walking on quicksand
When we think that we understand, God laughs

And we're so stupid 
If we think we can control
All the dark matter at the centre of this black hole
It's gonna pull us under if we don't let go

We're all walking on quicksand
When we're busy makin' our plans
God laughs
We're all walking on quicksand
When we think that we understand, God laughs
