Never seen that face before
Until the day you walked through my front door
Since then things don't seem the same

Nothing ever frightened me
Especially things I couldn't see
I'm nervous now
Things don't seem the same

Every wooden stair
Bends beneath me
The smell of fear hangs heavy on the air
I can't see the stars
For the fly dirt on the window
If I look down, it'll be the last time

Every little cut is clean
You rarely find the cause to scream
And then you're down
Bleeding on the ground

Search for faces in the crowd
Looking up their silence seems so loud
Enough to know they've all been there

When every wooden stair
Bends beneath me
The smell of fear hangs heavy on the air
I can't see the stars
For the fly dirt on the window
If I look down, it'll be the last time

Got to get to somewhere I can breathe in
Free these hands around my throat
That strangle me beneath my coat
Count the times I'm choking on one finger
Don't know me, don't know

When every wooden stair
Bends beneath me
The smell of fear hangs heavy on the air
I can't see the stars
For the fly dirt on the window
If I look down, it'll be the last time

And every wooden stair
Bends beneath me
The smell of fear hangs heavy on the air
I can't see my face
For the fly dirt on the window
If I look down, it'll be the last time
