Calm before the storm - KMurdock Music Group
I get this feeling when everything's too polite
Like we're both being careful with the same old lie
Phone face downward stuck in your throat again
I'm steady breathing but I'm braced for what's next
It ain't the volume, it's the pause that's loud
That little blink too long when I ask you,"Good?"
You say,"Yeah," quick, but your jaw stays tight
Like you're holding back smoke but you don't even light
I clock the shift when you stop making jokes
When you start talking neat like you're reading a note
And I know that tone, I know that lean
Like you're halfway here and halfway leaving me
I'm doing math on the way you move
Counting commas in your sentences what you won't say to
And I'm trying to keep it sweet, keep it clean
But my nerves don't sit still when it's tense like this
If I touch that topic, it's a spark at the fuse
So I sip my drink slow like, let's not do this
It's the air feeling tight in the room
Like pennies on my tongue when I talk to you
I can hear my own breath, I can hear yours too
And neither one of us wanna make the first move
We're smiling like company, but we ain't company
We're biting our lip at the same damn boundary
Hold still, don't swing it
We're right at the edge and we both know it
Say less, don't flinch yet
One wrong word and it's going up quick
I'm right here, don't fade out
I can feel you pulling back, I hate that
If you got something, spit it
This is the calm before the storm
I've been here before, I know the pattern well
That I'm fine mask with a slow exhale
The way you clean up phrases, sand down truth
Like if it sounds soft, it won't cut through
But I don't want soft, I want honest
I want messy, real, no polish
Say what you mean, don't stage it
Don't feed me crumbs then call me impatient
And I ain't trying to fight, I ain't trying to win
I'm trying to stop the cycle we keep spinning in
Cause it always starts calm, starts cool, starts cute
Then it turns to score keeping inside our moves
So I'm watching my mouth, I'm watching my face
Trying to keep my pride from taking up space
But my chest get tight when you act brand new
Like I don't know you better than you do
Your hands talk fast when your mouth don't
I peep the switch, I see what you want
We standing close but we ain't locked in
That's the part that make me start clocking it
If you're gonna jump in, jump, don't hover
Don't leave me guessing why you play undercover
Hold still, don't swing it
We're right at the edge and we both know it
Say less, don't flinch yet
One wrong word and it's going up quick
Stay here, don't tap out
I can feel you pulling back, I hate that
If you got something, spit it
This is the calm before the storm
I won't beg for a straight answer
I won't chase you through a half-truth hallway
I sit right in it, eyes open
If you're hurt, say hurt, don't act okay
If I'm the problem, name it
If it's fear, say fear, don't blame me
We can talk like grown folks, no theater
Cause love don't live where the truth get edited
Hold still, don't swing it
We're right at the edge and we both know it
Say less, don't flinch yet
One wrong word and it's going up quick
Stay here, don't tap out
I can feel you pulling back, I hate that
If you got something, spit it
This is the calm before the storm
If you're here, be here, don't pose for me
I can take the truth, just don't fold on me
Hand steady, eye steady, say it plain
This is the calm before the storm
