[Verse 1]
Pray to God, I’m hurtin’
Ask for hands, I’m workin’
I been stitchin’ my own scars
Behind these deadbolt curtains
I never ran, I couldn’t
Nowhere left, I stood in it
Empty hands, still swingin’
Every wound I turned into business
Quiet man, heavy steps
I don’t talk, I keep my debt
Lost some things I never named
Still I got this left to get
Ain’t no map, I made my road
From the ash and the cold
If you seen what I’ve seen
You’d know why I move slow
[Pre-Chorus]
I know the dark by name
It knows mine too
I learned to hold my pain
Till it broke through
[Chorus]
Quiet man, don’t test me
Quiet man, can’t bend me
Nothing left to lose now
Nothing left to lose now
Quiet man, I heal myself
Quiet man, I held myself
Nothing left to lose now
Nothing left to lose now
[Verse 2]
Took hits like a weather front
Never asked for a rescue
Every bruise told a story
Every scar said, “I got you”
I’ve been the doctor, the patient
Been the prayer and the answer
Had to build me from rubble
When the roof came down faster
Now my voice low, still it cuts
Like a chain on a gate
I been starving for peace
But I ate what I made
If you see me in the mirror
That’s a man still standing
Hands that shook in the dark
Now they steady on the landing
[Pre-Chorus]
I know the dark by name
It knows mine too
I learned to hold my pain
Till it broke through
[Chorus]
Quiet man, don’t test me
Quiet man, can’t bend me
Nothing left to lose now
Nothing left to lose now
Quiet man, I heal myself
Quiet man, I held myself
Nothing left to lose now
Nothing left to lose now
[Bridge]
I prayed once, then I bled
Then I learned what hurt had said
Ain’t no savior in my house
Just my name and my two hands
If I fall, I fall awake
If I rise, I rise with weight
I was made from what survived
And I survived what made me
[Final Chorus]
Quiet man, don’t test me
Quiet man, can’t bend me
Nothing left to lose now
Nothing left to lose now
Quiet man, I heal myself
Quiet man, I held myself
Nothing left to lose now
Nothing left to lose now
Quiet man, I’m still here
Quiet man, I’m still here
Nothing left to lose now
Nothing left to lose now
