Machine Head
Deafening Silence
[Verse 1]
Well, she looked right into my eyes and said to me
The hurt that you try to hide is killing me
I drink a thousand lies, to freeze the past in time

[Pre-Chorus]
I've tried to fill this silence up
But now it's back again

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Well, 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

[Pre-Chorus]
I try to fill this silence up
But now it's back again
[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
It's deafening
It's deafening
This silence inside me

[Pre-Chorus]
I try to fill this silence up
But now it's back again
It's empty like suicide
This pain inside

[Chorus]
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
