lyrics

FARID:
Don’t you remember
All those silent games we played?
Without a single word
We had so much to say

ELLIOT:
Snuggling is not on my calendar tonight, Farid

FARID:
Elliot!
I know you’re ambitious, but - what?
Do we need to plan
Each moment in advance?
Put down your pencil
So you’re free to hold my hand
What do you see me as?
I am not a pawn
I’m not a chess piece
To play with and then move on

ELLIOT:
I know you’re not!

FARID:
I miss those silent moments
Looking in your eyes
That peaceful longing
Where everything’s all right

Silence can be golden
But are you just tuning me out?

Am I white noise?
Do you hear my voice?
Has our connection become
White noise?
White noise?

NATALIE:
Arthur, this is important to our son!
Why else would he invite us?

ARTHUR:
Natalie, you know my work is important

NATALIE:
So is mine, Arthur!
But is it more important than family?
Than our marriage?

ARTHUR:
Natalie -

NATALIE:
No!

ARTHUR:
That’s not true

NATALIE:
Well, I’m heading to our son’s match
Enjoy your night

ARTHUR:
Natalie, there’s no need to take that tone

NATALIE:
For twenty years I’ve been by your side
And after all this time
You’ve barely held me tight
I’m not a toy to set aside
In your dollhouse
Ask Henrik Ibsen
He’ll tell you that don’t end well

Silence can be golden
But are you just tuning me out?

Am I white noise?
Do you hear my voice?
Has our connection become

NATALIE/FARID:
White noise? White noise?

NATALIE:
Isolation is inhumane torture
Why do we keep on moving towards it?

FARID:
Don't recall being a masochist
But that's how it feels every time we kiss

FARID/NATALIE:
If we just stopped holding back now
If we let all our feelings be found
Maybe we could find some joy then
But for now it's like loving the dead;
This silence!
This silence

Am I white noise?
Do you hear my voice?
Has our connection become
White noise?
