Better Than Silence Lyrics by The View UpStairs Original Off-Broadway Cast

The View UpStairs

2017

[DALE]
It's so fun being invisible
You don't have to worry about
What's where or where you're going
Because nobody cares
I tried to give Freddy my necklace
The one nice thing I own
I pick gum off the bottom of barstools
To show Henri how much I've grown
To contribute, I set up the chairs
And watch how you squander your prayers
But it's better than silence
It's better than silence
You hear things, when you're invisible
People speak their minds like you can't hear
As if their whispers aren't painfully clear
Hello. Can you help me?
I'm trying to get back on my feet
And it's twenty a night for a hotel;
A couple of drinks and a place to sleep
Can you hear me? I can help you
I can be a slut; I can be discreet
I promise I'm not gonna hurt you
I'll do anything for pretty cheap
And I get: Nothing. Silence
Or "not today" or "what do I look like – a charity?"
"Freak" "HAHAHA" "Get out of my house!"
"With that face you oughta pay me"
I don't ask for much, or need to be adored
But how do you get used to being ignored?
There comes a point
When you're invisible
When you'll scream "FIRE!"
In a crowded theatre
To see if anyone can hear
'Cause it's better than silence
It's better than Silence
