The Silence We Choose (Omission Bias)

An indie acoustic/experimental piece that reflects the hidden weight of inaction. The unusual structure mirrors omission itself: fragmented verses, mantra-like choruses, and an unresolved outro that leaves the listener suspended. The lyrics confess to “doing nothing” and show how silence becomes a decision on its own. Minimal acoustic piano, reverb-heavy vocals, and haunting pads create an atmosphere of emptiness and guilt. It’s delicate, but unsettling—the sound of choices not made.

Lyrics

      
I didn’t move… I didn’t fall…
I thought that meant I did nothing at all.
Standing still while the fire grew,
telling myself “it’s not what I do.”
Every choice I never made,
becomes a shadow that will never fade.
It feels like safety, feels like grace,
but absence leaves a deeper trace.
The silence we choose…
always speaks the truth.
The silence we choose…
always speaks the truth.
I let the story write itself,
a book that gathers dust on the shelf.
No fingerprints, no blood on my hands,
but I’m the ghost that still commands.
The silence we choose…
always speaks the truth.
The silence we choose…
always speaks the truth.
Not doing doesn’t make me pure,
it’s just another kind of cure.
An empty mask, a gentle lie,
a way to watch the world go by.
I didn’t move… I didn’t fall…
but silence is the loudest choice of all.
