Your Silence Screams

**[Intro – soft lo-fi guitar, almost bedroom pop]**  
You look at me like I’m the only light left in the room  
Your mouth opens, nothing comes out  
And I swear that silence is the loudest sound  
I’ve ever fallen into  

**[Verse 1 – whispered/clean vocals, gentle strumming]**  
Your hands shake when you reach for mine  
Like touching me might make you come undone  
You try to speak, your voice just dies  
In the space between your heart and tongue  

I see it in your eyes, every word you can’t pronounce  
How you love me past the edge of language now  

**[Chorus – full screamo explosion, blast beats, harsh screams]**  
YOU LOVE ME SO MUCH IT CHOKES THE AIR FROM YOUR THROAT!!!  
WORDS DROWN IN THE FLOOD OF WHAT YOU FEEL!!!  
I HEAR IT IN THE WAY YOU CAN’T SAY ANYTHING AT ALL!!!  
YOUR SILENCE SCREAMS LOUDER THAN I EVER COULD!!!  

**[Verse 2 – back to lo-fi, tape warble, distant vocals]**  
We sit on the floor at 3 a.m.  
You trace circles on my wrist  
Trying to spell it out in skin  
But every letter collapses into bliss  

You laugh when you give up  
Hide your face in my shoulder  
And I feel your heartbeat spelling my name  
Over and over  

**[Chorus – even heavier, double screams]**  
YOU LOVE ME SO MUCH IT CHOKES THE AIR FROM YOUR THROAT!!!  
EVERY UNSPOKEN SYLLABLE IS A KNIFE IN MY CHEST!!!  
I’D RATHER HEAR THIS NOTHING THAN ANYONE ELSE’S YES!!!  
YOUR SILENCE IS THE ONLY TRUTH I’VE EVER WANTED!!!  

**[Breakdown – slow, sludgy riff, feedback swells, low growls]**  
I don’t need you to say it  
I don’t need you to try  
Just keep looking at me  
Like I’m the reason you’re alive  
Your quiet is holy  
Your quiet is mine  

**[Final Chorus – chaotic, layered screams and clean vocals overlapping]**  
YOU LOVE ME SO MUCH YOU FORGOT HOW TO SPEAK!!!  
AND I LOVE YOU SO MUCH I DON’T NEED YOU TO!!!  
WE’RE BURNING ALIVE IN THIS WORDLESS HEAT!!!  
SPEECHLESS, SPEECHLESS, SPEECHLESS FOREVER!!!  

**[Outro – lo-fi guitar returns, fading into tape hiss and static]**  
You mouth the words you can’t say  
I read them anyway  
And we stay like that  
Quiet  
Perfect  
Gone
