Stay silent

(Shh…)

Stay silent

Stay quiet

Don’t let ‘em hear what we hide in the riot

Velvet lies on my tongue

Cold hands, but the night’s still young

You say nothing — I feel too much

Breathing close, but we never touch

Every look is a loaded gun

Every truth weighs a ton

You pull the thread, I start to break

But you don’t move, just watch me shake

Don’t make a sound, don’t breathe too loud

In this room, we’re just a crowd

Of ghosts that never made it out

Stay silent now

Stay silent — don’t say a word

Let the echo fade, let the pain be blurred

If I scream your name, it won’t be heard

So stay silent

Stay silent

Your shadow crawls up the wall

I see you there — nothing at all

Paper hearts and gasoline

You light the match — you stay unseen

Bittersweet — the taste of fear

I whisper “leave,” but you pull near

In the dark, I wear your crown

But I’m the one who burns it down

Don’t make a sound, don’t breathe too loud

In this room, we’re just a crowd

Of ghosts that never made it out

Stay silent now

Stay silent — don’t say a word

Let the echo fade, let the pain be blurred

If I scream your name, it won’t be heard

So stay silent

Stay silent

(Shh…)

I hear you thinking —

I know that you’re sinking

All your lies are blinking

Red, red, red

Hands on my throat —

But you never choke

We play pretend —

And call it hope

Stay silent — don’t say a word

Let the echo fade, let the pain be blurred

If I scream your name, it won’t be heard

So stay silent

Stay silent

Shh…

Stay silent.
