About
An old poem of mine inspired by other, turned into a song.
Lyrics
A Man Doesn't Die From Silence
Verse 1
A man doesn't die
When the house goes quiet
When the calls stop coming
And the bed stays cold
He doesn't die from empty rooms
He dies when the laughter is his alone
And no one hears
No one hears
Pre-Chorus
Just echoes in the walls
Just echoes in the walls
No voice coming back
No voice at all
Chorus
A man doesn't die from silence
He dies when no one hears him laugh
Dies in rooms where the echoes
Are the only voice that answers back
A man doesn't die from silence
He dies a little every night
Holding every "Are you okay?"
That he never learned to ask
Verse 2
He dies folding laundry
No one else will wear
He dies at 2 A.M.
Watching a clock that doesn't care
He dies on birthdays
Cake too small, no candles lit
Not 'cause no one was there
But he believed he didn't deserve it
Pre-Chorus
Just echoes in the walls
Just echoes in the walls
No voice coming back
No voice at all
Chorus
A man doesn't die from silence
He dies when no one hears him laugh
Dies in rooms where the echoes
Are the only voice that answers back
A man doesn't die from silence
He dies a little every night
Holding every "Are you okay?"
That he never learned to ask
Bridge
He dies in the mirror
Avoiding his own eyes
Craving connection
While the world walks by
He dies waiting for someone
To sit down by his side
Never knowing
He could have sat beside himself
He could have sat beside himself
Final Chorus / Outro
A man doesn't die from silence
He dies when he laughs alone
And no one hears
No one hears
A man doesn't die from silence
He dies when he laughs alone
And no one hears
No one hears
He could have sat beside himself
He could have sat beside himself
