Radio Silent

Here we go again

I tripped over my tongue again

Trying to hear you in the room next to me

This mad stillness…

Is this my punishment?

‘cause all i hear’s the humming of the air conditioning

Walking the tightrope

and straddling state lines

I’m offering my throat

and paying for my crimes

Can I ask you this one time?

Hurt my feelings

get bitter and violent

I’d rather you hate me

than go radio silent

I can stand being shaken

Confused and crying

The pain’s in the wait

I’d rather you hate

than go radio silent

it’s like I’m invisible

and I’m left miserable

You taunt and haunt me

like a fucking ghost

This mad stillness…

Is this my punishment?

‘cause all i hear’s the humming of the air conditioning

Walking the tightrope

and straddling state lines

I’m offering my throat

and paying for my crimes

Can I ask you this one time?

Hurt my feelings

get bitter and violent

I’d rather you hate me

than go radio silent

I can stand being shaken

Confused and crying

The pain’s in the wait

I’d rather you hate

than go radio silent

The pain’s in the wait

I’d rather you hate

than go radio silent
