Silence — Sick Of It All

So I take that you thought Some things are better left unsaid You chose your inhibitions Over what I should comprehend What could have been done To keep me from going astray Begging for direction But not pointed out the way

Silence, silence doesn't teach Silence, silence doesn't lead Silence, where did I end up In a self-destructive rut

Do I think I'm stronger because I learned my own way I just think I'm lucky to have made it out unscathed Now I'm thinking I resent the counsel that I lacked All the words I didn't hear could have saved my past

Silence, silence doesn't teach Silence, silence doesn't lead Silence, where did I end up In a self-destructive rut

Silence is deafening You don't say Silence is deafening

The corrupt light shines The corrupt light blinds Time to shrink, time to hide Time to guard what's inside

The street didn't gently take me under their wing The street is so dirty and I feel unclean Silence is deafening when guidance is sought Silence is deafening, and now I'm haunted
