[verse 1]
The California air
Your nightgown on the stairs
I remember every night
Scenes from home in the Quiet Room

[verse 2]
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

[verse 3]
Plastic forks and spoon
No laces in my shoes
They all know what I tried to do
Outside the Quiet Room
[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

[verse 4]
A mattress on the floor
No handles on the door
I really need nothing here
I'm alone
