Dead Air

Chorus

Dead air, you fill the silence with questions

"Where have you been?"

"What have you done"

"Who have you loved?"

Dead air, I know you want me to fill it

But I'm tired of explaining

Verse 1

There's a right to remain silent

Verse 2

"Dead air," they say on the radio

I turn it into an image of my absence

Dead air

Verse 3

It's an empty room, but the mic's left on

It's a blinking cursor, but no words come

It's a phone that's ringing, but nobody's home

You know what I'm saying?

Verse 4

It's the pause before, it's the awkward hush

It's the afterglow, it's the sudden rush

It's the question that you shouldn't ask

But I'll answer if you really want me to

Verse 5

It's a heavy air

A moment when no one is speaking

It's the expectation I'm supposed to fill

It's the tension when nobody speaks

Chorus

Dead air, you fill the silence with questions

"Where have you been?"

"What have you done"

"Who have you loved?"

Dead air, I know you want me to fill it

But I'm tired of explaining
