Silence Lyrics - 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
