Dead Air

[Verse 1]
I've been suffocating all night
Too much of nothing made me get uptight
And I get this for my shot nerves
And say it's this that you deserve
Do you wanna live in a soft shell
Or knuckle under the hard sell?
And when your arms still crave their fill
But when you're ashamed you want your twenty dollar bill

[Chorus]
Dead air
Don't let it be spoken
A record's broken
Skipping until it wears away
Here in this
Dead air
And you never say nothing
Dead air between you and me

[Verse 2]
I've been suffocating all night
Too much of nothing made me get uptight
You're in a rut with your hard-on
"It'd take no guts to be a Don Juan"
To go around brooding and tight
When you got no reason for brooding
You've become completely sick
You don't give a shit
You just wanna forget

[Chorus]
Dead air
Don't let it be spoken
A record's broken
Skipping until it wears away
Here in this
Dead air
And you never say nothing
Dead air between you and me

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Bridge]
I've been brooding all night
I got no reason for brooding
I don't know what I'm doing
I keep trying to speak out loud

[Refrain]
Dead air
Dead air between you and me
Dead air
Dead air between you and me

[Outro]
Dead air between you and me
Dead air between you and me
