Verse1:The California air Your nightgown on the stairs
I remember every night,
Scenes from home in the Quiet Room
Verse2:How long have I been gone Did winter kill the lawn
And all those polaroids you sent
Are on the wall in the Quiet Room
Chorus:They've got this place
Where they've been keeping me
Where I can't hurt myself
I can't get my wrists to bleed
Just don't know why, Suicide appeals to me
The Quiet Room, Is sterilized and white
It's like a tomb, With just a
moth stained naked night
Verse3:Plastic forks and spoon, No laces in my shoes
They all know what I tried to do
Outside the Quiet Room
interlude: D,A/D,D,A/D,D/F#,A/C#,
Chorus:This quiet place
It ain't so new to me
It's haunted atmosphere
Has heard so many scream
My home from home
My twilight zone
My strangest dream
My confidant,I have confessed my life
The Quiet Room
Knows more about me than my wife
They've got this place
Where they've been keeping me
Where I can't hurt myself, I just can't
I just can't get these damn wrists to bleed
A mattress on the floor
No handles on the door
I really need nothing here
I'm alone
