[Verse 1]

A play on words

Or words on play

Last chapter, verse

In the final act

Words well scripted

Each sentence choking

Inaudible gag

Blanket which suffocates


[Pre-Chorus]

As you eat another's words

Malnourished, you starve


[Chorus]

Silence has a definition

A vocabulary of muted diction

Precise thought to miscomprehend

Ambiguity in high resolution

Articulate expletive fiction

Open to misinterpretation

So precise


[Post-Chorus]

Silence has a definition

A vocabulary of muted diction

Articulate, expletive


[Verse 2]

Condensed meaning

Making no sense

Open mouth the lines

In stressed expression

Understand the silence

The piercing calm

Sour music to your ears


[Pre-Chorus]

As you regurgitate another's words

In their shallowness you drown


[Chorus]

Silence has a definition

A vocabulary of muted diction

Precise thought to miscomprehend

Ambiguity in high resolution

Articulate expletive fiction

Open to misinterpretation

So precise


[Post-Chorus]

Silence has a definition

A vocabulary of muted diction

Articulate, expletive


[Bridge]

A play on words

Making no sense


[Outro]

Which makes no sense

Which makes none sense
