Everybody talkin’ but they ain’t sayin’ nothin’
Noise in the room but my chest still thumpin’
It’s the quiet late at night that cuts to the bone
Like a shadow in the dark that won’t leave me alone
It’s the cries you don’t hear that you hear the most
Like a voice in the silence that nobody knows
Somebody’s drowning but nobody sees
Suffocatin’ slowly while they beg on their knees
So what you gon’ do when the silence gets loud
Do you just ignore it or stick around
When the silence drowns out every other sound now
Better check that mirror look around
Is it you screamin’ inside with no place to run
Or somebody you love that’s comin’ undone
It don’t take words to tell how you feel
Sometimes the silence just hits more real
I’ve been spinnin’ slippin’ fallin’ down
Beggin’ for peace but it never comes ’round
Tryin’ to pray cause life sure ain’t goin’ as planned
Talkin’ to God with my shaking clasped hands
I don’t need much just a break from the pain
Tired of the silence filling my brain
Before I slip further before I go numb
I need somebody to hear I’m coming undone
When the silence drowns out every other sound now
Better check that mirror look around
Is it you screamin’ inside with no place to run
Or somebody you love that’s comin’ undone
It don’t take words to tell how you feel
Sometimes the silence just hits more real
It’s the quiet that kills
Not the words not the noise
It’ll break you down slow steal the fight from your eyes
Leave you breathin’ but empty inside
So if your deafened by the silence don’t just walk by
‘Cause silence kills slow and it don’t say goodbye
When the silence drowns out every other sound now
Better check that mirror look around
Is it you screamin’ inside with no place to run
Or somebody you love that’s comin’ undone
It don’t take words to tell how you feel
Sometimes the silence just hits more real
