Deafening Silence

Machine Head

Well She looked right into my

eyes and said to me

The hurt that you try to

hide is killing me

You drink a thousand lies,

to freeze the past in time



I've tried to fill this

silence up

But now it's back again



See the pain in my eyes

see the scars deep inside

My God, I'm down in this

hole again

With the laughter I smile

with the tears that I cry

Keep going down this road

called life



She says that I'm insecure,

I guess she's right

'Cause just when I think

I'm sure, alone at night

the agonies come back, this

pain won't let me be



I try to fill the silence up

but now it's back again



See the pain in my eyes

see the scars deep inside

My God, I'm down in this

hole again

With the laughter I smile

with the tears that I cry

Keep going down this road

called life

Don't need your sympathy

I just want for this silence

to stop killing me



It's deafening

it's deafening

this silence inside me



I try to fill the silence up

but now it's back again

It's empty like a suicide

this pain inside



See the pain in my eyes

see the scars deep inside

My God, I'm down in this

hole again

With the laughter I smile

with the tears that I cry

Keep going down this road

called life

Don't need your sympathy

I just want for this silence

to stop killing me.
