The color of silence

Yeah…

Turn the noise down for a second…

Wait… why is it so quiet?

Phone on mute, world on pause

No loud people, no stupid calls

No alarms screaming in my ear

Just me and the fridge going “brrrr” in here

Tried to hear the sound of peace

But the floor said creak like “not this week”

Thought silence was a golden thing

But my chair just sang like a rusty swing

When everything goes quiet slow

My brain goes louder than a radio

This is the color of silence

Painted in the air tonight

No chaos, no sirens

Just weird thoughts in neon light

When the world goes quiet for a while

And nothing’s making any sound

That’s when the funny little noises

Start popping all around

Midnight vibe and the city asleep

Trying to count like a thousand sheep

But the pipes go CLANK in the middle of it

Like my house just joined the beat a bit

Thought I found the calm at last

But my stomach said “bro, eat fast”

Silence cool for a minute or two

Till your brain starts roasting you

Silence isn’t really quiet

It’s a place where thoughts get loud

Every tiny little noise

Feels like it’s performing for a crowd

This is the color of silence

Stranger than it seems tonight

No chaos, no sirens

But my brain still starts a fight

When the world goes quiet for a while

And nothing’s making any sound

That’s when the funny little noises

Turn the silence upside down
