Quiet Has Teeth

Quiet Has Teeth

I don’t shout to prove I’m right

Silence speaks in black and white

Let them bark and break their lungs

I just load my sharpened tongue

They cast stones in glassy words

Noise and ego, undisturbed

But wisdom walks on softer ground

Where echo doesn’t chase the sound

Bite your tongue before it bleeds

Truth don’t grow from petty needs

Not much talk, but every word's a blade

I build a wall from the noise they made

Watch your mouth or wear the burn

Every fire has its turn

Quiet has teeth, don’t be fooled

Even silence has its rules

Whispers weigh more than a roar

What you say is what you’re for

Lips can lie, but time reveals

Who's the wound and who just heals

So I stay still, but I don’t sleep

What I bury, I still keep

You scream to hide your shallow truth

I bleed in steel, and call it proof

Talk is cheap, but scars are real

Bite your pride before you kneel

Not much talk, but every word's a blade

I build a wall from the noise they made

Watch your mouth or wear the burn

Every fire has its turn

Quiet has teeth, don’t be fooled

Even silence has its rules

No mask to wear

No lies to shout

If you knew what silence knew

You’d never spit it out

Not much talk, but every breath is earned

In a world where voices crash and burn

Guard your lips or pay the toll

Even whispers take their soul

Quiet has teeth… and it bites cold

Quiet has teeth…

And it never sleeps...
