Sick of It All - SilenceLyrics

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
