Medulla Nocte - Deafened By The Sound Of Silence Lyrics

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!
