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
