Dotted Lines Lyrics

Quiet whispers show the way
But the screams always complain
And I don't know which voice is mine
Or which of the voices tell me lies
No way to run from what's inside
Maybe this body should be sacrificed
To free my soul from the demons
To bring silence to the screaming

Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Contemplating my suicide
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Contemplating my suicide

I see things that don't exist
Dotted lines drawn on my wrist
Fact or fiction, I can't tell
But what is heaven if this is hell?
Why won't the voices quit?
That is my only wish
In the end I'll pay the price
To kill the demons I must die

Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Contemplating my suicide
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Contemplating my suicide
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Contemplating my suicide
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Contemplating my suicide

Bridge

Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Contemplating my suicide
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Contemplating my suicide
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Contemplating my suicide
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Contemplating my suicide

Winter of Disillusionment

Quiet whispers show the way
But the screams always complain
And I don't know which voice is mine
Or which of the voices tell me lies
No way to run from what's inside
Maybe this body should be sacrificed
To free my soul from the demons
To bring silence to the screaming

Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Contemplating my suicide
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Contemplating my suicide

I see things that don't exist 
Dotted lines drawn on my wrist
Fact or fiction, I can't tell
But what is heaven if this is hell?
Why won't the voices quit?
That is my only wish
In the end I'll pay the price
To kill the demons I must die

Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Contemplating my suicide
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Contemplating my suicide
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Contemplating my suicide
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Contemplating my suicide

Bridge

Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Contemplating my suicide
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Contemplating my suicide
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Contemplating my suicide
Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Contemplating my suicide

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
