why ask? - maeve noiré lyrics
you ask me
“what’s it like being deaf?”
like you’re collecting stories
for a book you’ll never read
your eyes light up
your curiosity sharp—
but the second i start talking
you drift off into the dark
you stare at your phone
or your friend walking by
and when i pause for half a breath
you go, “oh… sorry, why?”
why what?
why did i bother?
why did you ask?
why does every conversation
feel like a one*sided task?
if you didn’t want truth
why pretend you did?
why open the door
just to shut it mid*vid?
why ask if you won’t listen?
why pry if you don’t care?
you ask a question, then disappear—
like my voice evaporatеs in air
why ask if you won’t listen?
why fake concern you nеver mean?
you want the headline, not the story—
you want the version that stays clean
then you ask the heavy stuff
the “personal, serious, deep” stuff—
“does your tinnitus hurt?”
“did school mess you up?”
“do you ever feel alone?”
yeah, thanks for the therapy quiz
but when i answer honestly
you blink like you forgot what this is
you say
“wow, that sucks,”
then pivot to a meme
you ask about trauma
like it’s part of the theme
you ask about my father
my past, my fear, my pain—
then lose interest halfway through
and bring up last night’s game
you dig for depth
like it’s entertainment
then run from the truth
like it needs containment
why ask if you won’t listen?
why poke if you can’t stay?
you open wounds with your questions
then wander off midway
why ask if you won’t listen?
i’m tired of shouting into sand—
you want the surface, not the person
you want the idea, not who i am
“do you read lips?
how do you think?
do you hear anything?
what does silence feel like?”
you ask
and you ask
and you ask—
then you never wait for the answer
you just want a fun fact
not a person
i’m not your curiosity project
i’m not your deaf documentary
if you can’t hold a conversation
don’t pretend you’re interested in me
why ask if you won’t listen?
why pry open doors you won’t walk through?
you want the spark notes, the soundbite, the caption—
not the truth of what i go through
why ask if you won’t listen?
i’m done repeating my life for free
if you can’t pay attention—
stop asking
about me
if you only want the question
don’t ask for the answer
i’m deaf—
not here to dance for your curiosity
