[Intro] [Verse 1] Three blocks away, the pressure starts to climb A muffled trunk-rattle pulsing in four-four time The low-end frequencies vibrating through the floor It’s not a song, it’s a vibration at my door! And now the grocery aisle, a sudden acoustic trap A toddler screaming till the store-lights start to snap A piercing, high-pitched drill straight through the frontal lobe I’m trapped inside a hostile, auditory globe! [Chorus] You talk about hate speech like it’s what they say! But I hate speech in a completely literal way! The plosives popping and the sibilance reeks! The clicking of the jaw every time someone speaks! I don't care about your opinion or your view! I just need muted silence from every one of you! (Shut! Up! Shut! Up!) [Verse 2] Across the breakroom table, the jaw begins to grind A wet, explosive crunch that shatters peace of mind A violent celery snap, a cavern-echoing chew I feel the micro-fury rising up anew! And then the final insult, the fluid down the throat A heavy, open swallow, a wet and sickening note And then the post-gulp smack—that satisfied "ahhh" gasp My sanity is slipping, losing its final grasp! [Chorus] You talk about hate speech like it’s what they say! But I hate speech in a completely literal way! The plosives popping and the sibilance reeks! The clicking of the jaw every time someone speaks! I don't care about your opinion or your view! I just need muted silence from every one of you! [Bridge] Oh, you think that leaf blower outside is a test? You think a one-off noise means you’re heavily oppressed? You stand there complaining, but you don’t have a clue What it’s like when the world is raw, closing in on you. Just your simple wooden pencil scratching numbers on the sheet, But it feels like a razor blade you're dragging down the street. You made me shudder to my bones, made me walk away and hide... Because you are too loud, and I am hollowed out inside! [Verse 3] Now everything is amplified, the microscopic hurts! The acrylic nails clicking on a phone screen in spurts! Clack-clack-clack-clack, a plastic-coated sting! I can hear the friction of every single thing! And under the blanket, the horror starts to begin The dry, rough friction of skin rubbing on denim skin! A scratchy, scraping rasp that makes my eardrums bleed! Total absolute silence is the only thing I need! [Chorus] You talk about hate speech like it’s what they say! But I hate speech in a completely literal way! The plosives popping and the sibilance reeks! The clicking of the jaw every time someone speaks! I don't care about your opinion or your view! I just need muted silence from every one of you! [Outro] Just... hush.
