Cacophony Lyrics
Don't say a word
Not because I know what you mean
Not because I've heard you say this before
But in this semblance of Democracy
It's like vacuum for what you overheard
Don't say a word
Don't call me back
Not because I didn't call
Because I'm busy watching TV on my day off
And you might startle me with rational words
Contradicting all the new I've just heard
So don't call me back
Now a word is tense and bare like a trigger just a hair away
From being pulled
You know I can't pretend to know how this is going to end
But don't you feel like, don't you feel like you're being fooled?
But you don't say a word
Are you at work?
I called this morning but I guess I was late
Now we're both waiting for the day when the dreams wane
With possibilities permanently sealed
Atrophied after their purpose revealed
To keep you at work
Now, have you gone out?
You know I called but the place was too loud
This cacophony, I couldn't make out
If you wanted me over tonight
Another private tease as sense comes by daylight
Or we could go out
Nouns pass for narration and camp sights for nations
But you're just driving out of range
You struggle with your phone, but it doesn't matter, I'm not home
Besides, I've got nothing, nothing to say
Don't say a word
