A recorded reading of “Hush Hush Hush Hush”. If the player does not load, use the original audio source.
There was a boy who never spoke, A silence wrapped in velvet cloak. The teachers sighed, the parents prayed, But still, his voice just stayed. One day he raised a trembling hand, A folded note slipped from his band. In ink so black, a fragile track: "Some words, you just can’t take back." There was a girl with a glass heart, Fractured seams, a fragile art. She danced in light, she played in shade, But glass hearts bruise, and glass hearts fade. One sharp word, a careless sound, And shattered pieces hit the ground. Among the shards, a letter lay: "Some hearts aren’t built to fade." There was a man in a silent room, Curtains drawn in endless gloom. No clocks to tick, no floors to creak, No voice, no song, no chance to speak. But on the door, a crack appeared, A whisper slipped, a sound unclear. It spoke in tones so faint, so hushed: "Some silences can’t be crushed." The echoes linger, low and true, In every word we failed to do. A hum, a hush, a heavy air— Some things are said, and some stay… there.
Alternative version
In velvet folds where shadows cling, A boy’s quiet heart refused to sing. His silence sat—a monarch’s throne, A kingdom built on words unknown. The ink he spilled on paper’s breath, Carried weight, as deep as death. "Some words," he wrote in fragile black, "Are knives that never take steps back." The girl—a prism wrapped in glass, A fleeting light the world let pass. She spun her dreams on brittle thread, Each twirl a risk, each step unsaid. But glass will crack, and glass will break, When careless voices let hearts quake. Amidst the shards, her truth displayed: "Some hearts weren’t meant to fade." The man—a silence carved in stone, In rooms where shadows sat alone. No tick, no tock, no creak, no chime, A vacuum sealed outside of time. But silence isn’t death—it breathes, In cracks and seams, in whispered sheaths. It spoke through fractures, faint and crushed: "Some silences can’t be hushed." And in the air, these echoes hung, On sharp-edged notes, unsaid, unsung. A weight, a pause, a hollow stare— Some things are said, and some stay… there.
Instructional lyrics
[Verse 1: The Boy Who Never Spoke] [Soft acoustic guitar starts, a light hum fades in, the vocals drop low and rich.] [Slow] There was a boy who never spoke a word, His silence strange, his voice unheard. The teachers sighed, the parents prayed, But still, his voice just stayed... [Pause, slow hum starts: Hmmm Hmmm Hmmm Hmmm…] [Slightly faster] Then one day, he raised his hand, A folded note slipped from his band. It simply said, in ink so black: "Some words, you just can’t take back." [Hum builds slightly, instrumental rises, return to Slow.] [Verse 2: The Girl With the Glass Heart] [Soft drum kicks in, a faint organ swell.] [Slow] There was a girl with a glass heart, Fragile cracks, a fractured art. She tried to dance, she tried to play, But glass hearts bruise in light of day. [Hum: Hmmm Hmmm Hmmm Hmmm…] [Slightly faster] One sharp word, one careless sound, Her fragile chest hit the ground. Among the shards, a letter stayed: "Some hearts aren’t built to fade." [Hum lingers, fading gently before the next verse. Return to Slow.] [Verse 3: The Man in the Silent Room] [A subtle bass line sneaks in, atmosphere heavy now.] [Slow] There was a man in a silent room, Curtains drawn, eternal gloom. No clocks to tick, no floor to creak, No voice, no song, no chance to speak. [Hum: Hmmm Hmmm Hmmm Hmmm…] [Slightly faster] But on the door, a crack appeared, A whisper slipped, a sound unclear. It said in tones so faint, so hushed: "Some silences can’t be crushed." [Hum swells, the music gently fades out, leaving only a single haunting hum. Return to Slow.] [Chorus Hook] [Soft, haunting hum melody. Simple, catchy, wordless.] [Slow] "Hmmm Hmmm Hmmm Hmmm…"
