Lethal Silence Lyrics — R.J. Sloane

Lethal Silence is a dark outlaw country song about the silent majority pushed one step too far. He stood in line. Followed the rules. Complied. And paid the price in moments he can never get back. Compliance was never acceptance. And they forgot what kind of man goes quiet.

VERSE 1

Stood in line
At a distance
Waved at Mama through a window
Breathing same air
Send her to her grave
No goodbye kiss allowed
The day she died
It was all lies

CHORUS

Dam's about to burst
Fissures all around
Honor kept me silent
Abiding by your rules
Pushed me too hard
Too long
One step too far
And I let you
For a time
But you forgot
Watch the quiet ones
Turning lethal
Now it's time

VERSE 2

Stay home, stay safe
And boxed in a cage
Cap and gown
Robbed from my son
Watched my baby girl's "I do"
Through a screen
Never got to lift her veil
Kiss her cheek
Not like we planned
Because of your lies

CHORUS

Dam's about to burst
Fissures all around
Honor kept me silent
Abiding by your rules
Pushed me too hard
Too long
One step too far
And I let you
For a time
But you forgot
Watch the quiet ones
Turning lethal
Now it's time

BRIDGE

You mistook compliance for acceptance
Honor for a leash
Silence for surrender
Storm's coming
Flood waters rising
Thunder's gonna split the sky

FINAL CHORUS

Dam's about to burst
Fissures all around
Honor kept me silent
Abiding by your rules
Pushed me too hard
Too long
One step too far
Won't believe you
Not this time
Watch the quiet ones
Turning lethal
