Quiet, I stand.
I feel the blood, running from my hands.
Tried it once again.
Stood up for a friend,
and now I stand, alone.

Ruby red,
Now you've found me out
and left me for dead.
I Stare to the sky,
I can't understand why
what it is that took your life.
Ocean disease
beggin darlin please
and I've fallen on my ragged knees

And I don't understand,
what it takes to be a man.
And I don't understand,
What it takes to be a man.

Don't call me a freak.
Cuz I'm not the creep.

Bare your breast to the night
feel my warmth inside
feel it growing oh so tight
feel my breath again
cut my back again
now I'm holding on until the end.
felt your last words
felt your dying breath
now I know that I've lost it all.

And I don't understand,
what it takes to be a man.
and I don't understand
what it takes to be a man.

Don't call me a freak.
Cuz I'm not the creep.

Quiet, I stand
I feel the blood on my hands
tried it once again
stood up for a friend
And now I stand alone

"Quiet"
