A Quiet Dignity

A quiet dignity?
It's nothing to be proud of
Silence, crushed by anxious thoughts
It could never hope to stem the blood flow
So what's the point in holding back
When things are better than I thought they'd ever be?
I won't apologise for being juvenile
I won't apologise again

I won't back down, it's not my scene
I won't compromise or trade my ideals
I won't bite my tongue when I can scream
I won't back down

A quiet dignity?
Nothing could be further from the truth
I can't pretend, can't lie and say I don't enjoy this
So don't forget that it's your fault
You were the one who fucked things up
It's schadenfreude: childish, but also far too easy
I won't apologise for being immature, I won't apologise again

A quiet Dignity?
I am proud and I can't hide it
This is what I've waited for
I love it and I won't deny it
