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!
