"Quiet Line"

I'll go wherever I like
Why I'm sore is how I fight
Once in sight it's not forgotten
Feeling as if something is rotten
Behind the smile lies a tongue that slips
Like buzzards cry when flesh rips
Sign my deal, set it in motion
Smaller the fish, bigger the ocean.

Going down the stairs on a quiet line to nowhere
Thoughts inside my head that are leading me somewhere
Going down the stairs on a quiet line to nowhere
Ask me if I mind, don't ask me if I care.

Shoot me dead 'fore my mind goes through
Costly killing personality view
No more time to give at all
On bloody, scraping knees I crawl
Set me free, recognize my disease
Vision dreams, remember identity
Angry eyes, enough hate to breed
I'm stealing your pain to make me bleed.

Going down the stairs on a quiet line to nowhere
Thoughts inside my head that are leading me somewhere
Going down the stairs on a quiet line to nowhere
Ask me if I mind, don't ask me if I care.

It's slower, but pain's addictive too
But you wouldn't know, would you?
I can see what the cost will be
Reduction of my personality.
