No, not the ringing
|
Wide awake, suffering
|
|
Constant hissing-deafening
|
Constantly, constantly
|
Reverberate inside my skull <i>[x4]
|
|
The sound is silent, yet exhaustive
|
It's violent, but absorbing
|
It's calming, but annoying
|
It's coming!
|
|
Deafened by the sound of silence
|
My fear has kept me in my place
|
All chains are now broken
|
And I'm ashamed to show my face
|
And now, I've never felt so out of place
|
|
No, not the ringing
|
Head in hands, whimpering
|
|
Hands are shaking, body aching
|
Aching sounds, reverberating
|
Reverberate inside my skull <i>[x4]
|
|
The sound is silent, yet exhaustive
|
It's violent, but absorbing
|
It's calming, but annoying
|
It's coming!
|
|
Deafened by the sound of silence
|
I'm consumed within it's mist
|
And as the ringing grows louder
|
I feel the blade against my wrist
|
And slowly I'm hearing the volume....increase
|
|
You can call me paranoid
|
Call me a freak
|
But I've got to distrust everbody that I meet
|
Made enough apolgies
|
They're ones I retract
|
Cos every time I turn away, I get stabbed in the back
|
|
Have you gained anything with your selfishness
|
Except my distrust and utter conceit
|
Are you satisfied to strip me of all that I have
|
Like the dignity I had that was stripped <i>[repeat]
|
|
The sound is silent, yet exhaustive
|
It's violent...but supportive
|
|
Reverberate inside my skull <i>[repeat]
|
Shut up!
