Another Man's Silence

[Verse 1]
The marble floor in this East Legon kitchen feel cold past ten on a Tuesday.
Left a glass of red wine by the sink, still breathing, like it's waiting for doomsday.
The AC hums a foreign tune, smell of lemon from a bottle wey come from plane.
This whole foundation solid, chale, but the blueprint full of empty space and rain.

[Chorus]
This na another man's silence, I just dey sweep am away.
He build the walls so high, the sound of his own life no fit stay.
I dey watch the dust fall in a slice of light from the window pane.
This na another man's silence, again and again.

[Verse 2]
Small boy's drawing on the freezer door, with a magnet from far away Dubai.
My side, the kids dey play ampe for street, 'til the sky turn red eye.
Last night, madam text, she say "Don't use the front gate, use the one by the tall fence."
This whole security system be scaffold, but e dey hold the loneliness in, make e make sense.

[Bridge]
For one second, I sit on the leather, feel the cool air on my skin.
Wonder if a house feels empty from the outside, or from deep within.

[Outro]
The marble floor in this East Legon kitchen feel cold.
