Domestic Silence
Scroobius Pip

Let me introduce a recluse with his neck in a noose that went loose a he slipped out

He didn't have a clue what to do with his new lease of life it was a lease he never took out

Ya see

He'd never really had a grip on life

Never had a family, no kids, no wife

No real friends, no social life

His life was a concise silent night


At the factory, in fact he kept himself to himself

His existence was distanced from everyone else

He didn't interact with the pack, never had done

He didn't feel the need to impede on their sanctum


And they didn't impede on his

If they ever needed anything they'd leave a list

After a while in that place he didn't seem to exist

And that didn't seem strange, it just is what it is


Sometimes he'd find a whole week had passed

Since he last took a gasp and words were cast

On his days off he'd wonder if he'd gone deaf

As he drifted in silence, no noise no mess


He used to have the radio playing in his hall

But that stopped when the broadcast stopped being so broad

He didn't like TV so he got rid of it

He liked to read books and sit for the hell of it


So that was his life, didn't seem that bad

But he still chose to take his own life I his hands

Still chose to kick that chair from his feet

[Hook:]

Silence can be golden but gold can sometimes suffocate

Like that girl in that James Bond film, too late to respirate

Tragedy can be plain to see with lights and sirens

But sometimes it ain't quite so clear, Domestic Silence


Unspoken, so much goes unspoken

Till you're choking on a fragile glass heart smashed open

With this near miss his eyes would either open

Or sink deeper down into a silence never broken


Forsaken isolation and silence all around you

It'll drag you to the deeper water and it WILL drown you

He returned to work the very next day

Lucks intervention got no mention, nothing new to say

But then out of nowhere everything changed

When a voice said Hi there, how are you today?

Six simple words, seven simple syllables

It doesn't always take grand gestures or miracles


When in hell a hiding place can seem grace and free from pain

But umbrellas keep sunshine out as well as rain

He declared all the fears that his silence had been masking

And said yeah I'm good. Thanks for asking


[Hook:]

Silence can be golden but gold can sometimes suffocate

Like that girl in that James Bond film, too late to respirate

Tragedy can be plain to see with lights and sirens

But sometimes it ain't quite so clear, Domestic Silence
