[[[silence

(Record scratch) Yo, lemme drop this truth, raw and real, 'Bout silence that cuts deeper than cold steel. When talkin' stops, and the messages cease, A power builds, a kinda inner peace, or unease. (Verse 1) No texts buzzin', no calls in the night, Just empty space, where conversations took flight. At first, it's strange, a void in the air, Then questions arise, did we even care? Was it habit or heart, a genuine bond? Or just a routine, 'til the feeling was gone? Absence reveals, the truth starts to bleed, Was it love or convenience, a planted seed? An emotional rollercoaster, a hope and a dread, Will they reach out? Or are feelings dead? A void in the chest, if the connection was deep, Or a breath of fresh air, if the connection was cheap. (Chorus) Silence speaks volumes, louder than words, Revealin' intentions, like flocks of birds. Ego and pride, a silent war, Who's gonna reach out, what are we waitin' for? But sometimes distance, it's a necessary thing, For self-growth and clarity, the lessons it bring. Toxic connections, gotta cut 'em away, Silence is respect, at the end of the day. (Verse 2) Conversations fade, replies get delayed, Then nothin' at all, a silent parade. Unresolved conflicts, festerin' wounds, Misunderstandings, hidden in darkened rooms. Emotional distance, a gradual drift, Life's circumstances, a personal gift, or a rift. Personal struggles, a silent retreat, A defense mechanism, can't handle the heat. But assumptions arise, they think you don't care, While you're just lost, in your own despair. Sometimes it's choice, a conscious goodbye, To move on forward, beneath a different sky. (Chorus) Silence speaks volumes, louder than words, Revealin' intentions, like flocks of birds. Ego and pride, a silent war, Who's gonna reach out, what are we waitin' for? But sometimes distance, it's a necessary thing, For self-growth and clarity, the lessons it bring. Toxic connections, gotta cut 'em away, Silence is respect, at the end of the day. (Bridge) Communication's the key, the foundation we lay, But even strong bonds, can slowly decay. A missed call, a text left unread, A conversation colder, words left unsaid. Romantic, platonic, familial ties, Silence can shatter, even the wise. Misunderstandings, external demands, Breakups and space, slippin' through our hands. (Verse 3) Breakups, personal space, misunderstandings, too, External forces, breakin' what we thought was true. Outgrown connections, a natural release, Lessons learned, a moment of peace. Not every silence, is meant to be filled, But some gaps need bridgin', the wounds need to be healed. Don't let assumptions, build a permanent wall, 'Cause sometimes a conversation, can break down the fall. (Outro) So listen to the silence, what does it say? Is it closure or hope, at the end of the day? The power of absence, a lesson we learn, Some bridges are built, and some bridges will burn. Word.
