lyrics

(instrumental)

Nine people at a table and one of them said the word
"Cold". About me. Present tense. In front of everyone.
And the room did the thing rooms do — it agreed by not speaking
(by not speaking)
Silence is a vote and eight people cast it

I thanked him for the feedback (the feedback)
And asked him to say it again so I could write it down

The meeting
(the meeting)
Eight people agreed with a word by saying nothing
The meeting
And I have made four records out of that silence

He would not repeat it. Of course he would not repeat it.
A word like that only works when it is a passing remark
Written down, dated, and read back, it becomes a claim
(becomes a claim)
And claims can be examined, which is why nobody makes them

(pure tone, 8 bars, uncomfortable)
Two of those eight have apologised since. Privately. Separately.
Neither apologised in a room.
(FULL DISTORTION RETURNS)

The meeting
(the meeting)
Eight people agreed with a word by saying nothing
The meeting
And I have made four records out of that silence

(cold.)
