Silence Makes People Uncomfortable - Judeo
Room full of diamonds
Still you check your phone
All this gold around us
But we feel alone
Talk big online in person, you sip your drink
Eyes on the ice in the glass, not the way we think
You laugh too loud, at jokes that barely land
You scared of what comes out if you have a plan
You fill the air with weather talk
Name brands we can gossip
But when the words all run out
Your heartbeat start to rock
Silence make people uncomfortable so you talk talk till you numb
Scared of what sits in the quiet, scared of what you might become
Silence make people uncomfortable so you flood your fears with sound
But the truth keeps living through every pause within the crowd
You say you love deep then flinch when the room goes still
You stare at the door like an exit, like someone's testing your will
You change the subject to travel, post pics, play that part
But you never want to unpack the carry-on in your heart
You fill the space with names you drop
Old stories, new distractions
Anything but out of eye
Anything but real reaction
Anything but real reaction
What if the quiet
Is where you're really seen
What if the question
Sit in the in-between
All of this marble and marble floor
Can't cover echoes in your chest
If you could let the stillness talk
Would you finally get some rest
Would you finally get some rest
Would you finally get some rest
