about

Quicksand is life as we know it for Thaddeus James.

lyrics

I keep good pace with the patience
I keep good faith in what makes sense
I take the quicksilver with the quicksand
I’m only mostly too proud to use a kick stand

Hey stand me up right here I need a break please
What’s a tunnel rat got to do to make cheese
I’m in your house taking quarters from your piggy bank
My gas tank, is literally quarter tank
Looking sort of blank I match the cashiers stare
Quarters to the counter. Count them. They’re all there
He nods you’re all clear. 20 quarters on pump 5
I coast 50 miles a tank how I drive
Too live, hella-fresh hyper-miler
No skyline diviner, square trunk freestyler
It’d be wild uh? So they’ll try and tame it
They’ll try and pin it down, and they’ll try and name it
We’ll try to get it into each and every category
And have the raw reserve for the fatter story
I’m resilient with words, I adapt aptly
Rhyme brilliant on a beat, I’ll scrap happily
Special forces my endorphins hit coordinates
My blood courses in the most exploring sense
Heart to heart and in and out of chambers
Spread with the love from a thin amount of strangers
Locally to globally, worldwide grass roots
I’m openly and vocally a thunder beast with fast boots
I cover ground, I’ve found I’m determined
I listen to the earth and put words to its sermon
I confide, I’m trying to stake my own place
Get that silver spoon up to this handsome face
Upgrade. Get away from my plastic spork
Brand Thaddeus big like I Love New York
Bigger numbers and recognition
I’m trying real hard to get to the second vision
Some third eye birds eye, hold up with insight
With all the answers to make sure it ends right
Happy ending

I keep good pace with the patience
I keep good faith in what makes sense
I take the quicksilver with the quicksand
I’m only mostly too proud to use a kick stand
