[Verse 1] You'll hurt yourself trying to smile
When there's still the taste of lament in your mouth
You'll twist a nerve just from the motion
It's an act we don't have to do

[Chorus] I can sit and just be here
And not have to be so terribly scared of silent air
Just a body in the room
The silence is scary, but it's a joke compared to talking to yourself
I'll sit and just be here

[Verse 2] And when the dread finally shifts
Just enough for you to feel it's safe to talk again
I'll be an empty vase
For you to pour yourself in

[Chorus] Or I'll sit and just be here
And not have to be so terribly scared of silent air
Just a body in the room
The silence is scary, but it's a joke compared to talking to yourself
I'll sit and just be here

[Instrumental Bridge] [Chorus] I can sit and just be here
And not have to be so terribly scared of silent air
And if all you'd like is a body in the room
The silence is scary, but it's a joke compared to talking to yourself

[Outro] I'm empty whenever you're ready
Whenever, if ever
If you feel like you may want to let me in
Whenever, if ever
