**The Silence That Chose Me**
*35 BPM • Dark Dramatic Blues Horrorcore Trap*
---
[Intro – low drone, sparse piano, slow dragging trap pulse]
Just wondering…
how you like the silence
that chose to follow me
out the fucking door.
---
[Verse 1]
I went
no words left to say to you finally
Did the room get bigger
like you wanted it to be
Did my presence really fix
the problems you claimed were all me
Does it keep you warm at night
does it cuddle you like me
Does it smile just because you’re you
and did it truly enjoy the company
I didn’t need you to fix me
just needed you present
while I tried to fix me
and all the things you said were wrong
all the shit you made me believe
---
[Chorus]
You point your finger
like you’re making a point
like my sadness is a cloud
you can’t stand under
Can’t stand the rain
but you’re steady in a drought now
And I don’t care about you
not at all, you see
You’re the nothing in my story
the ex I couldn’t care less
where you’d be
---
[Verse 2]
You got everything you wanted
and thought you’d used up the best of me
Tossed me away like trash
and now you’re stunted
’cause I grew
in ways you can’t believe
The silence that left with me
ain’t empty anymore
It’s full of everything
you never made room for
---
[Bridge – slower, heavier, almost spoken]
I asked for nothing
then one thing
and when it stayed unanswered
I walked
Now the room is yours
big and quiet
just like you wanted
and I hope the silence
still feels like peace
instead of the sound
of what you threw away
---
[Outro – fading into static and low blues]
Just wondering…
how you like the silence
that chose to follow me
out the door…
and never looked back.
