Neighbors Don’t Talk by Dead Air Syndicate
Neighbors Don’t Talk
[Intro]
Yeah…
Every floor got secrets, every door got a story
Neighbors don’t talk… but the walls remember
[Verse 1]
Hallway echoes, footsteps on cracked tile
I pass familiar faces, nobody says a smile
Window blinds closed, silence on the rise
Pain in the hallways, trauma in their eyes
Mama prayin’ quiet, daddy can’t pay rent
Kids learn the code, fear is what they represent
I hear muffled cries behind thin apartment walls
Neighbors don’t talk, but the pain calls
[Hook]
Neighbors don’t talk, but the building knows
Secrets in the cracks, pain always shows
Silence like a curse, trauma in the air
Every floor a story, but nobody dares
Neighbors don’t talk, fear runs deep
Whispers in the night, memories we keep
[Verse 2]
Elevator creaks like it’s carryin’ ghosts
Each floor a reminder of the ones we lost
Arguments behind doors, beatin’ hearts in disguise
Screams muffled, tears hidden, masked by lies
I move through the hall, eyes watchin’ quick
Learned to be quiet, learned every trick
One wrong word, and it spreads like flame
Neighbors don’t talk, but they know your name
[Hook]
Neighbors don’t talk, but the building knows
Secrets in the cracks, pain always shows
Silence like a curse, trauma in the air
Every floor a story, but nobody dares
Neighbors don’t talk, fear runs deep
Whispers in the night, memories we keep
[Bridge]
Graffiti on the walls, messages unsent
Pain left behind, lessons that never relent
Every knock, every step, echoes of the past
Neighbors don’t talk, shadows forever cast
[Verse 3]
Late night, I hear it, a baby cryin’ alone
Door slams, the sound of a life overthrown
I wonder what they’ve seen, what they’ve endured
Every soul in the building silently obscured
I grind, I hustle, I try to break the chain
But the weight of the silence runs deep in my brain
One day maybe voices will rise, tell the truth we’ve locked
Until then, we live where neighbors don’t talk
[Hook/Outro]
Neighbors don’t talk, but the building knows
Secrets in the cracks, pain always shows
Silence like a curse, trauma in the air
Every floor a story, but nobody dares
Neighbors don’t talk, fear runs deep
Whispers in the night, memories we keep
