[Intro]
Keep it quiet.
[Verse 1]
Why you stay talking? It’s a wildfire in your mouth,
Every little spark turns the whole room south.
You walk like a turtle stuffed from Thanksgiving dinner,
Slow feet, full plate, still claiming you’re a winner.
Nobody cares when you launch that speech,
You build a tall sermon, but the point stays out of reach.
Annoying every soul from the doorway to the hall,
You throw a hundred words and none of them land at all.
[Hook]
Stay quiet, let the silence do the work,
Not every thought deserves a microphone first.
None follows your words, not even the Lord,
You keep knocking on a door that was never yours.
Stay quiet, let the whole room breathe,
Your mouth starts a fire, then you blame the heat.
[Verse 2]
You stretch one small sentence into ten long minutes,
Same worn-out story with no clean finish in it.
Eyes drift sideways, hands reach for the door,
You keep feeding that flame till there’s nothing left to scorch.
You talk like thunder, but the rain never falls,
Big noise in the hallway, no weight in the walls.
A sermon with no lesson, a bell with no ring,
A crown made of chatter on a paper-thin king.
[Bridge]
Take one breath.
Count to four.
Leave the next word
On the floor.
[Hook]
Stay quiet, let the silence do the work,
Not every thought deserves a microphone first.
None follows your words, not even the Lord,
You keep knocking on a door that was never yours.
Stay quiet, let the whole room breathe,
Your mouth starts a fire, then you blame the heat.
[Outro]
No hard feelings.
Just less talking.
The room sounds better
When you stop walking through it with your mouth wide open.
