[breakbeat sway – heavy kick pattern, offbeat snare snap, funky ghost notes] [verse 1] i don’t wanna talk tongue sits heavy words feel cheap blue light on your cheek you keep asking what i mean i don’t wanna listen every answer bends the truth let the silence shape us like it always wanted to [mixed-time turnaround] [first chorus, build energy] I DON’T WANNA TALK I DON’T WANNA LISTEN i just want to hear all the things you never say out loud hanging thick right here let your heartbeat argue for you let your breathing pull me near I DON’T WANNA TALK I DON’T WANNA LISTEN i just want to hear (just want to hear) [picklerose splat interlude] [verse 2] coffee going cold unread messages in stacks you say we should fix this but it only cracks and cracks turn the tv louder till the voices turn to rain 'cause the quiet in between us says your secret ..says my pain [chorus] I DON’T WANNA TALK I DON’T WANNA LISTEN i just want to hear all the things you never say out loud hanging thick right here let your heartbeat argue for you let your breathing pull me near I DON’T WANNA TALK I DON’T WANNA LISTEN i just want to hear (yeah just want to hear) [bridge – half-time drop / chopped and stuttered vocals] every half-spent sentence every almost-spoken fear let it fall let it fall i’ll still hear it i’ll still hear [Final Chorus – build / double-time snare fill into outro] I DON’T WANNA TALK I DON’T WANNA LISTEN i just want to hear every tremor in your fragile voice even when you disappear let your silence write the ending i’ll still be standing here I DON’T WANNA TALK I DON’T WANNA LISTEN i just want to hear (just want to hear) (just want to hear…) [fade on chopped “hear… here… hear…” with gentle reverb tail and breakbeat swing]
