No Face No Voice
Screens go black, the room stays still
Somebody's asking, nobody will
Answer back, so it just hangs there
Static where a voice should've been somewhere
Count the silence, watch it grow
Eight minutes feel like it's never gonna go
No face, no voice,
no read on the room
No face, no voice,
just silence in the room
We're circling, circling, waiting on the cue
No face, no voice,
no read on the room
I said my piece,
got told to sit
Explained the thing that I already lit
Twice she made her stance so clear Talking past me like I'm
not even here
Count the silence, watch it grow Same old meeting,
same old status quo
No face, no voice,
no read on the room
No face, no voice,
just silence in the room
We're circling, circling, waiting on the cue
No face, no voice,
no read on the room
(strip back, half-spoken, just me and the beat)
Not the work that gets me,
it's the shape of the space
Where nobody's looking, nobody shows a face
Say the thing you mean,
or don't call it at all Same time next week,
we'll be back at the wall
No
face, no voice, no read on the room
NO FACE, NO VOICE,
JUST SILENCE IN THE ROOM
We're circling, circling, waiting on the cue
No face, no voice,
no read on the room
No face, no voice — read the room
(beat drops to just claps and a chant of "no face,
no voice" fading out) No face,
no voice...
