[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
