(Paul chewing quietly)
(floor creaking)
- [Paul] It's the quiet that gets to you in the end.
(floor creaking)
Being quiet all the time
is a lot like being dead.
Noise brings them.
Any noise.
(jeans rustling)
I used to wonder what went wrong,
where it all started, who to blame.
Makes no difference now. (eerie whirring)
(finger tapping gently)
(man whimpers gently)
It was worse before the batteries ran out.
(phone alerting)
(man panting)
Phones, (ominous whirring)
people just wouldn't give them up.
(string yanks gently)
(bell rings in the distance)
They're not smart though.
Easy enough to fool as long as you stay careful.
(water dripping)
As long as you stay lucky.
(footsteps tapping gently)
(crate cracks)
(tin can rolling)
(woman and child panting)
(ominous whirring)
(muffled champagne cork pops)
Just don't do anything stupid.
Don't do anything that makes a noise.
(woman stifling moans)
(woman moans loudly)
(ominous whirring)
It's best not to do anything at all.
At first we took pills to help us sleep.
Then pills to numb us through the day.
And for a while,
any pills we could find.
(man screaming in distance)
(man screaming loudly)
The pills turned out not to be such a good idea.
It's the quiet that gets you in the end.
You can survive on cold food from tins and rain water.
You can survive without your mobile phone, without your car,
without football and designer handbags.
You can even survive them if you're careful.
But the quiet,
(door creaking)
the quiet crawls inside your head.
(door creaking shut)
(Paul stifling cries)
(skin tearing)
(blood trickling)
It's the quiet that gets to you in the end.
Being quiet all the time
is a lot like being dead.
