Verse 1
Footsteps lost where the shadows stay
Quiet face in the crowd all day
People talk but they never see
What the silence is doing to me
Standing back while they laugh and lie
Watching every excuse go by
All their words like a blade in skin
Little cuts stacking deep within
You don’t notice the ones who fade
On the edge where the calm is made
But the quiet keeps every scar
Every moment you pushed too far
Chorus
Quiet man in the trees tonight
Something waking beneath the light
All the whispers begin to bend
When the silence decides to end
You can run but it won’t erase
Every step that you left in place
When the calm finally breaks apart
You’ll remember the quiet heart
Verse 2
Woods get dark when the sun goes low
Cold wind carving the paths I know
Branches crack like a warning sign
Like the forest was always mine
Every laugh that I heard before
Every name that I can’t ignore
All the things that you never knew
All the anger that slowly grew
You see calm but you miss the truth
Something old waking in the roots
Something waiting to finally move
Something quiet with things to prove
Chorus
Quiet man in the trees tonight
Something waking beneath the light
All the whispers begin to bend
When the silence decides to end
You can run but it won’t erase
Every step that you left in place
When the calm finally breaks apart
You’ll remember the quiet heart
Bridge
Stillness breathing in the dark
Cold wind moving through the bark
Something shifting deep inside
Something waking I can’t hide
Chorus
Quiet man in the trees tonight
Silence turning into a bite
All the voices begin to fall
When the quiet outlasts them all
You don’t hear it until too late
When the woods seal up the gate
When the calm finally breaks its part
You’ll remember the quiet heart
