Lyrics

Radio Silence
By Darryl Wright

(Verse 1)
Being a young man
All joking aside
About generation this or that
Sometimes it?s just
A bumpy ride

(Verse 2)
What you?d taken for granted
May start to slip away
The people, the places, the package
Your rock, your mainstay

(Pre-chorus)
And now what?
What should you do with your rage?
You?re looking for what can sustain you
It isn?t a walk in the park
And smiling broadly
Pretending you?re turning the page
Feels like it might well
Just drain you
Better, perhaps, to go dark

(Chorus)
Radio silence
Working its magic
Leaves you untethered
Free and pelagic
But, at times, don?t you wonder
If you?re only just drifting?
Ties torn asunder
You avoid heavy lifting
Everything melodramatic
Everything tragic
Radio silence
Silence in surfeit
Radio silence
Are you so sure it?s worth it?
Radio silence
Silence

(Verse 3)
The door?s always open
You can always come back
Don?t need to decide
If you?re staying or leaving
Don?t need to unpack

(Verse 4)
Step one?s ?Hello there?
Step two is ?How have you been??
Step three is ?What?s for dinner??
Step four is sleeping in

(Pre-chorus)
And I know
You hurt beyond measure
Or words
There?s really no way
Of computing
What I might have put
On that chart
And who?s to blame?
Leave careful accounting to nerds
You?re willing to risk overshooting
Just to put steel in your heart

(Chorus)
Radio silence
Working its magic
Leaves you untethered
Free and pelagic
But, at times, don?t you wonder
If you?re only just drifting?
Ties torn asunder
You avoid heavy lifting
Everything melodramatic
Everything tragic
Radio silence
Silence in surfeit
Radio silence
Are you so sure it?s worth it?
Radio silence, radio silence
Radio silence, radio silence
Silence, silence
