Silence
[Hook: Sareena Dominguez]
Time is tickin', yeah, it's tickin' away
I 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 through the motions
Silence is golden
The same color that my throne is

[Verse 1: Jarren Benton]
Yeah, 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 n***a in a bodybag
And his mama turned away cause 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 sinked 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 n***a back
He ain't even know how much he meant to me and that was wack
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 send a prayer to your mama and your whole family
Rest in peace, dog, you my homeboy forever
Yeah, I know you livin' in the sky
I wish I had a better way to tell my n***a "Bye"
Make sure you cherish every moment that you spend with your people cause you never know tomorrow they could die
Uh, you believed in me homie, yeah, and for that I thank you
I know you're in a better place, probably 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 n***a every day like I'm at a loss for words as I drown in the silence
[Hook: Sareena Dominguez]
Time is tickin', yeah, it's tickin' away
I 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 through the motions
Silence is golden
The same color that my throne is

[Verse 2: Jarren Benton]
Yeah, damn, there we go, not speakin' again?
Out the front door a n***a leavin' again
I rode around the city pissed off about 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 apologize a trillion times, make it a trillion-one, but this time I'm too late
Yeah, I guess you fed up with my shit
To get through 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 respect that
I'm tryna break through 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
It's 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 yeah, 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
Yeah, now I feel like a loser
I knew all the wrong I was doin', I would lose her
Now I see the light, amen, hallelujah
But I'm stuck in my shit like I sit in cow manure
World went crashin' when I lost my co-pilot
Ringin' in my head, somebody turn off the sirens
She ain't even talk to a n***a and it hurts so bad
Now all I do is drown in your silence
[Hook: Sareena Dominguez]
Time is tickin', yeah, it's tickin' away
I 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 through the motions
Silence is golden
The same color that my throne is
