[Verse 1] I carved a question into glass Launched it from a rooftop, fast Thought I’d get a spark, a scratch All I got was “seen” and ash Tossed my thoughts into the void Dressed ‘em up, not unemployed Wrapped ‘em nice with ribbon thought Y’all just ghosted like you’re bought [Pre-Chorus] Was it bad? Or too real? Or are you plastic On your heel? Did you flinch? Or did you sleep? Hard to hear When your depth’s so cheap [Chorus] Quiet is cheap, and y’all pay in silence Truth walks in, and you choose compliance Say you care, but blink too long I don’t need fans who just play along Quiet is cheap - and you got it in bulk I built a bridge You built a shrug [Verse 2] You used to burn like matchstick brains Now you scroll like dopamine chains Used to talk, used to bleed Now it’s clout, and follow feeds Asked for thoughts, not holy praise Not a medal, not a daze But the line went cold, the glow went dim Even shadows whispered more than them [Pre-Chorus] Is it taste? Or is it fear? Can’t respond Without a mirror? Did I glitch? Or are you fake? What’s a friend If they never break? [Chorus] Quiet is cheap, and you love the sale I speak in flames, you just inhale You want cool, not honest smoke That’s fine - I cut the joke Quiet is cheap - and I’m not for rent I build cathedrals You pitch a tent [Bridge] Clickbait hearts, rusted grace Feedback forms with empty space Talk is dead, truth is dirt You smile wide while wearing hurt Mirrors cracked, voices thin Tell me nothin’ - say it again [Final Chorus] Quiet is cheap, but I cost pain If you can’t dance through fire, stay in the rain No more asking, no more soft You had your chance I turned it off [Outro] No echo. No pulse. No spine. Fine.
