Evan Nebo - Neighbor's Whisper Lyrics

[Intro]
Empty hallways echo my pain
Concrete walls know my shame
Neighbors peeking through their doors again
Wonder if they feel the same

[Verse 1]
Dragging daddy up these broken stairs
Vision blurred from all these f*ckin' tears
Bottle's empty, just like all his prayers
Been this way for so many years
They watch me struggle, step by step
Pretend they sleeping, hold their breath
But I can feel their eyes on me
Behind those doors, what do they see?

[Chorus]
Whispers in the stairwell
Stories that we don't tell
Judge me through your peephole
But we're all broken people
Whispers in the stairwell
Secrets that we don't tell
Behind each door there's sorrow
Same shit, different tomorrow

[Verse 2]
Mrs. Johnson acts like she don't know
But her man drinks just as hard below
Third floor Tommy with his bloodshot eyes
Everybody's got something to hide
These walls are paper-thin like trust
We're all just drowning in our dust
They saw me crying, carrying him home
Now they know I'm not alone

[Bridge]
Sometimes late at night I hear them weep
Through these walls that barely let me sleep
We're all just trying to survive
In this concrete box we call alive

[Chorus]
Whispers in the stairwell
Stories that we don't tell
Judge me through your peephole
But we're all broken people
Whispers in the stairwell
Secrets that we don't tell
Behind each door there's sorrow
Same shit, different tomorrow

[Outro]
Maybe in our silence
We understand each other
Maybe in our weakness
We find our strength together
These whispers in the night
Remind me we're alive
