[Intro, Instrumental, BPM 83] [Verse 1] There's a man in a quiet room and his hands are clean, He's got a name and face I've never heard or seen. He makes it simple like we're all pieces on a chessboard — He set the clock at twenty-seven minutes and the rest just complied. [Chorus] There's no door in this building. There's no bell I can ring. There's no cuff in the world that'll fit that kind of thing. So I'll carry him with me and I'll say what I know, In every quiet room I go. [Verse 2] I gave up the road, I gave up the fire, Gave up a girl at a bar who was already tired. Gave up a good man who asked me was any of it true, And I looked him in the eye and... I don't know. Yeah, I really don't. [Bridge] You want to know what I've got at the end of all this? One word and a wall, that is all I got, And a room full of people who'd do it for money And I'm not going to ask them. No, not tonight... ...Not yet. [Outro] Quiet room. Hmm... Quiet room. He's still in there. But... [Break, Spoken] So am I. [Fades To End]
