Words in sequence
If You Listen CloseThe Block Tells The Truth With Its Teeth
Streetlights Sip Rain And Squint Through Smoky GlassWhile Sirens Sew Their Sermons As They PassA Coffee Spoon Keeps Time Like Snare On SnareThe Barber’s Broom Baptizes Dead-End HairThe Stoop Plays Judge The Hallway Holds Its BreathThe Ceiling Counts The Seconds Like A DebtRent’s Due On Tuesday Hope Due Every DayWe Smile Like Saints And Stash The Ache AwayNeon On The Strip Like Bruises Learning GlowSweet On The Surface Rust Beneath The ShowA Kid In Lenses Large As Lunar MoonsWalks Calm Like Thunder Folded Into TunesHe Speaks In Soft But Something In Him BitesA Quiet Spark That Practices For Nights
Not In The Bang In The HushNot In The Scream In The HushNot In The Posts In The HushNot In The Peace In The HushKunyemaKi BuhataKunyemaKi Buhata
Quiet Is A Lie It Wears A Halo Quiet Is A LieGrief Don’t Cry It Growls And Don’t Let Go Quiet Is A LiePeace Ain’t Free It Hides Where Cameras Glow Quiet Is A LieThis Block Got Rules You Feel Before You Know Quiet Is A LieWe Buy The Hush With Peace Then Buy Peace With Hush Quiet Is A LieSame War New Wardrobe Same Wound New Blush Quiet Is A Lie

She Says I’m Fine Like Wine Poured Over AshHe Laughs Too Loud To Hide The Crack The CrashA Phone Lights Up Like Scripture In The DarkThen Dims Like God Got Tired Of Being MarkedThin Walls Hear Everything Then Play Them DumbThey Learn The Art Of Looking Numb As StoneA Door Don’t Close It Claps Like Cruel ApplauseThe Kitchen Clock Just Ticks Without A CauseThe Porch Stays Still Not Safe Just Trained To FreezeLike Fear In Sunday Shoes Polite As PleaseThe Neighbor’s TV Jokes At Something GrimAnd Irony Sits Down And Eats With HimOne Moment Sweet The Next A Sudden ChillLove Turns To Paperwork And Unpaid BillsAnd In The Corner Quiet Clears Its ThroatLike It’s About To Sing Then Swallows Smoke
The Quiet Isn’t Calm It’s CamouflageA Velvet Veil That Files Away The FlawsWe Hide Our Hurt To Look Like We’re At PeaceThen Lose Our Peace The Moment We Hide At LeastWe Fear The Noise That Names The Pain We HideWe Hide The Pain That Names The Noise We Fear Inside

Quiet Is A Lie Whole Cities Learn To Whisper Quiet Is A LieWhole Skies Go Gray Like Daylight Lost Its Filter Quiet Is A LiePeace Plays Dead Then Breathes When You Look Away Quiet Is A LieTruth Gets Tried While Trouble Learns To Pray Quiet Is A LieWe Buy The Hush With Peace Then Buy Peace With Hush Quiet Is A LieSame Ghosts New Pupils Same Bruise Same Blush Quiet Is A LieWelcome To The Hush Where The Hard SurviveWhere Quiet Is A Lie And Havoc Stays AliveQuiet Is A Lie Quiet Is A LieKunyemaKi Buhata
