[Intro pre-verse 1] TV light flicker Glass half warm Too many words chasing the same air Nobody listening... Perfect. [VERSE 1] Room buzz low like a faulty wire laughter spill, don’t climb no higher Names bounce off the edge of the table half remembered, barely stable Stories stretch, corners bend start too loud, don’t know the end Chairs scrape time, floors keep count every sentence lookin’ for an amount Eyes drift past what’s actually said phrases stack up, fall over dead Something real in the gaps between not announced, barely seen [HOOK] All that sound, background noise All that talk, no clear voice Say it loud, say it twice Still just sound, background noise [VERSE 2] Overtalk overlap, syllables trip thoughts half-dressed, still let ‘em slip Punchlines miss, still get claps timing off but nobody snaps Screens glow blue, faces nod everybody tuned to a different god Words move fast, don’t travel far parked too close to who they are Static hum in a major key sounds important, barely be Whole room moving, nothing shift signal lost inside the drift [BRIDGE] Fan clicks twice Somebody coughs A joke lands late Silence does the rest [VERSE 3 – controlled, sparse] Same phrases circle like a bad rerun different mouths, same pattern spun Confidence thick, substance thin echo chamber boxed in skin Gestures big, details small everybody ready, nobody called Minutes slide under careless feet background rhythm, off-beat beat Nothing breaks, nothing seals everything loud, nothing feels [VERSE 4] When the room clear out, sound still hangs empty chairs keep the same slang What was said don’t matter much what stayed quiet kept the punch No rewind, no highlight reel just low hum, something real Night don’t clap, night just goes leaving behind that background noise [OUTRO] © 2026 - skvadMC
