Jarren Benton - Silence lyrics

rate me

(Hook)

Time is tickin’, yeah, its tickin’ away

I’ve waited all my life to say

My misery hates company

I'm at a loss for words

That's a first for me

Silence is golden

Go throw the motions

Silence is golden

The same color that my throne is

(Verse)

Damn can't believe that my homeboy dead

I still feel shocked like I'm shot in the head

I woke up and cried til my eyes turned red

I wish it was a nightmare that I just had

The coroner just put my niga in a body bag

And his mama turned away cuz she cannot witness that

And I ain't know what to say

When I was standin’ with your dad

Only thing that I could think was "goddamn this is sad"

Man we was just laughin’ on the weekend

That was your goodbye, guess it just slinked in

No words that I can jot with the ink pen

To describe the way I feel, I guess I'm still grievin’

I wish that I could bring my nigga back

He ain't even know how much he meant to me

And that was wrack

That I couldn't even express it

Til he layin’ on his back

At his fuckin’ funeral, when I ain't know how to react

Yeah, we supposed to get rich together

God had another plan for you that was better

I said a prayer to your mama and your whole family

Rest in peace dog, you my home boy forever

Yea, I know you livin’ in the sky

I wish I had a better way to tell my nigga: Bye!

Make sure you cherish every moment that you spend

With your people, cuz you never know

Tomorrow they could die

Ah, you believed in me homie

Yea, and for that I thank you

I know you in a better place

Prolly up in heaven crackin’ jokes with them angels

Never be forgotten as I'm writin’ over violins

I feel alone like I'm on my own island

I think about my nigga every day

Like I'm at a loss for words

As I drown in the silence

(Hook)

(Verse)

Damn, there we go, not speakin’ again?

Out the front door a nigga leavin’ again

I rode around the city pissed off

‘bout some bullshit you said

Make me feel like I ain't breathin’ again

I get back, and we ain't talked to each other for like two days

Damn girl, who pissed in your Kool Aid?

I apologise a trillion times, make it a trillion-one

But this time I'm too late

Yea, I guess you fed up with my shit

To get throw that cold heart I need an ice pick

The look on your iris, so lifeless

Remember them good times we had

That was priceless?

Damn, did I fuck you up that bad?

You need space now, I guess I expect that

I'm trying to break throw them walls that you put up

But I don't even know where your head at

Yeah, I guess I better let her fly away

Its hard to cope with the pain, I wanna die today

I'll find a fuckin hideaway to hibernate

I sit and let this liquor wash the hurt

Like a tidal wave

And oh yea, by the way

If I could take all the hurt back I'd find a way

I guess I'll pop another pill so I can sleep

And let my brains cook

Like I put my head inside a microwave

Yea, now I feel like a loser

I knew all the wrong I was doin

I would lose her

Now I see the light, amen, alleluia

But I'm stuck in my shit

Like I sit in cow manure

World went crashin when I lost my copilot

Ringin in my head, somebody turn off the sirens

She ain't even talk to a nigga

And it hurts so bad

Now all I do is drownin’ in your silence

(Hook)
