Quiet Man

You never see me…

You just feel it change

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

Every word like a blade in skin

Small cuts stacking deep within

You don’t notice the ones who fade

Standing right where the calm is made

But the quiet keeps every scar

Every moment you pushed too far

You never looked

You never knew

Now something’s looking back at you

QUIET MAN—in the trees tonight

SOMETHING—moving without a light

ALL STEPS—you can’t erase

Every path that you left in place

RUN FAST—it won’t matter then

WOODS CLOSE—they remember when

WHEN CALM breaks—falls apart

You’ll remember the quiet heart

Woods go dark when the sun drops low

Cold wind carving the paths I know

Branches crack like they speak my name

Like the forest and me the same

Every laugh that I heard before

Every name 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 in the roots uncaged

Something waiting to finally move

Something quiet—but filled with rage

You never looked

You never knew

Now something’s walking next to you

QUIET MAN—in the trees tonight

SILENCE—turning into a bite

ALL VOICES—they start to fall

When the quiet outlasts them all

NO SOUND—till it’s too late

WOODS CLOSE—seal your fate

WHEN CALM breaks—cuts apart

You’ll remember the quiet heart

Stillness breathing through the dark

Cold wind moving through the bark

Something shifting under skin

Something waking deep within

QUIET MAN—I don’t need to chase

YOU WALK—right into my space

NO LIGHT—no way to see

How the forest remembers me

RUN NOW—it’s already done

NO PATH—nowhere to run

WHEN CALM breaks—you’ll understand

You were never leaving this land

You never saw me…

You never heard me…

…but I was always there
