the silence i keep away - kev sez lyrics

[intro]

[hook]
silence, silence, silence, i can’t stand the
silence, silence, silence, can’t sleep with the
silence, silence, silence
silence
shhhhhhhh

[verse 1]
my bedroom ain’t a homestead, it’s a prison cell
chalked lines counting times and memories of where i dwelled
it’s funny how silence seems to be the loudest
attention kept left to the electronics and kept bound to the mattress
all these thoughts scream among me, i do my best not to listen
so i stay a slave to netflix, electronics and messages
that red notification trips dopamine receptors
and sound pours out of the broken speakers
i can hear the rain snake down the window pane exterior
and it reminds me that i’m still here (i’m still here)
most of the time i’m kept perpetually distracted
and kept captive by things that we don’t need but find attractive
and as the world turns i find myself swaying with it
staying vigilant, but not aware of my place in it
heart of a cynic, mind of a solider that ancestors blessed me with
chanting cadences while i walk a mile outside my limits with the

[hook]
silence, silence, silence, i can’t stand the
silence, silence, silence, can’t sleep with the
silence, silence, silence
silence
shhhhhhhh

[verse 2]
i got a date with makers mark, he’s looking chilled and dressed
we hang out ’til happiness bursts out of my chest
introspective, take inventory of all i’m left with
on a night like this i should expect nothing less
lights flashing, communication at a stand still
knowing i’d be fine if i talked but i am weak-willed
i’m like, “defeat, k!lled”
stilled time unwinds on a fine line between me and elysium
he’s gone but i ain’t missin’ him
sometimes i think my name and “lie to myself” are synonyms
so i spit out my honesty on the mic like spoons of cinnamon
i can hear the blood course through my skin
finger the deadbolt while the world whispers (let me in, let me in)
rivers of white noise drown out my mind and that’s how i like it
i can’t fall asleep without my thoughts divided
so i sit on my porch and let the ghosts drive by
and relax with my sweet city lullaby like

[hook]
silence, silence, silence, i can’t stand the
silence, silence, silence, can’t sleep with the
silence, silence, silence
silence
shhhhhhhh
