[Intro] (Solo Piano, melancholic and repetitive F-G-Am-G progression) (Soft spoken word, almost a whisper) I check my pocket... And there’s nothing there. [Verse 1] I ponder of something profound My head will spin and look around It fills with dread, a heavy sound I know I’m bound, to the ground I have these twitches, in my thumbs Waiting for a text that never comes 'Cause somebody stole my cell phone And now I just sit in silence. [Verse 2] (Drums enter, steady kick beat) Sometimes quiet is violent I find it hard to deny it My world is no longer inside it It’s in a cloud, I want to scream Reminding me I lost the stream of my digital dream I hate this void that I’m holding There’s no scrolling for me I’m forced to see what I be There is no blue light to mask what is me I could just stare at my knee. [Refrain] (Piano and drums lock in, building tension) I have these twitches, in my thumbs Waiting for a text that never comes 'Cause somebody stole my cell phone And now I just sit in silence. [Verse 3] (Rapping, intensity increasing, faster delivery) I ponder of something terrifying 'Cause this time there’s no screen to hide behind I find over the course of our modern existence One thing consists of consistence And it’s that we’re all battling bored Oh lord, I don’t know if I cut the cord Oh my, too deep, please stop thinking I liked it better when my screen was blinking. [Verse 4] (Synthesizers rising, tension builds) There are things we can view But from the apps that work there are only few And from the few that we choose to view Likes will win and posts will lose There’s Wi-Fi and there’s data We need to pick one later Because data is to be connected And to be connected is to be projected And to be projected is to be alive And I will try with every swipe To come across like I am typing To let you know you need to try to look up. [Refrain] (Intensity high, almost shouting) I have these twitches, in my thumbs Waiting for a text that never comes 'Cause somebody stole my cell phone And now I just sit in silence! [Climax] (Beat drop, heavy electronic rave synth, Screamo vocals) AND NOW I JUST SIT IN SILENCE! AND NOW I JUST SIT IN SILENCE! AND NOW I JUST SIT IN SILENCE! (Aggressive synth lead solo) (Crowd jumping rhythm) AND NOW I JUST SIT... IN SILENCE! IN SILENCE! IN SILENCE! [Outro] (Music cuts abruptly to just piano, slow tempo) I check my pocket... I ponder of something profound. My head will spin and look around. (Fade out) And now I just sit in silence.
