A Quality Of Agony


Watched the drink slip out his hand 
                                    As if it were in slow motion 
Cigarette smoke curled out of her mouth 
                And wrapped itself around her neck
Like the hands of a depraved psychopath 
                                               Itching to take a life
Fought his way out of the room 
                         And across the promenade deck
The stuffiness of the air making it hard 
                                      For him to catch his breath
Couldn't quite get a handle on things
                                                         Felt like a total wreck
Maybe if everybody would have just shut the hell up
                                          For one damn moment
He would've given anything for silence 
                                       Would've handed over a blank check
Couldn't hear himself think
              Couldn't hear his own heart beating
She stood in the corner bleary eyed and out of date
                         Drowning in her sorrows mixed with triple sec
