Awkward Silence

Staring at the wall no answers in my head

Words stuck in my throat heavy like lead

The clock keeps ticking mocking every breath

This awkward silence feels worse than death

Awkward silence it screams so loud

Echoes in my chest like a broken vow

No escape no place to hide

Awkward silence tearing me inside

Fingers tap the table like a nervous beat

Eyes dart around but they never meet

Every second drags like a chain on my feet

This awkward silence is my defeat

Awkward silence it screams so loud

Echoes in my chest like a broken vow

No escape no place to hide

Awkward silence tearing me inside

It’s the space between the chaos and the fight

Where the words we need vanish into the night

It’s a prison with no walls no bars in sight

This awkward silence cuts sharper than a knife

Awkward silence it screams so loud

Echoes in my chest like a broken vow

No escape no place to hide

Awkward silence tearing me inside
