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
