Life On The Ropes

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
