Here’s a full “Quiet Rage” song built to feel dark, broken, but still sellable and singable.
***
## Verse 1
I woke up in a room with no sky,
Four cracked walls and a voice asking why.
Ash in my lungs, got a heart made of rust,
Every prayer that I whispered turned back into dust.
I stitched my smile with a trembling hand,
Built my whole life on a sinkin’ strand.
If you looked in my eyes, you won’t see light,
Just a war-torn soul that forgot how to fight.
***
## Pre-Chorus
I wrote my name from the blood on the page,
Turned every heartbreak into quiet rage.
Silence is louder than all of my screams,
So I hide the storm where nobody sees.
***
## Chorus (Quiet Rage)
Quiet rage on a calm face,
Heart on fire but I move in slow grace.
On the outside I look okay,
On the inside I’m one spark away.
Quiet rage that I don’t show,
Smilin’ while the fault lines grow.
If you feel this cage,
Then you know about quiet rage.
***
## Verse 2
I walked through the fire with my eyes sewn shut,
Trusted the hands with the knife at my gut.
Every “I love you” had a hidden fee,
Paid in the pieces that they took from me.
I wore my trauma like a second skin,
Let every nightmare crawl back in.
If you traced my scars like a midnight road,
You’d see every place I carried the load.
***
## Pre-Chorus (variation)
I wrote my name from the blood in my veins,
Signed every letter with unspoken pains.
All of my demons still know me by name,
We drink to the hurt while we dance in the flames.
***
## Chorus (Quiet Rage)
Quiet rage on a calm face,
Heart on fire but I move in slow grace.
On the outside I look okay,
On the inside I’m one spark away.
Quiet rage that I don’t show,
Smilin’ while the fault lines grow.
If you feel this cage,
Then you know about quiet rage.
***
## Bridge
I don’t scream, I just go numb,
Turn every breakdown into chewed-up gum.
You’d never guess from the way I speak,
How loud it gets when my chest can’t breathe.
Maybe I’m broken, maybe I’m made
To turn all this damage into serenade.
If you hear my voice beneath the stage,
You’re listening to my quiet rage.
***
## Final Chorus / Outro
Quiet rage on a calm face,
Heart on fire but I move in slow grace.
On the outside I look okay,
On the inside I’m one spark away.
Quiet rage that I don’t show,
Smilin’ while the fault lines grow.
If you feel this cage,
Then you know about quiet rage.
Oh, if you feel this cage,
Sing with me this quiet rage.
