The End of Silence
Album - 25 febbraio 1992 - Debaser id 17089

I think you got a low self opinion man
I see you standing all by yourself
Unable to express the pain of your distress
You withdraw deeper inside
You alienate yourself,
And everybody else
They wonder what磗 on your mind
They got so tired of you
And your self ridicule
They wrote you off and left you behind

You sleep alone at night
You never wonder why
All this bitterness wells up inside you
You always victimize
So you can criticize yourself
And all those around you

The hatred you project
Does nothing to protect you
You leave yourself so exposed
You want to open up
When someone says
Lighten up
You find all you doors closed
Get youself a break from self rejection
Try some introspection
And you just might find
It磗 not so bad and anyway
At the end of the day
All you have is yourself and your mind

You sleep alone at night
You never wonder why
All this bitterness wells up inside you
You always victimize
So you can criticize yourself
And all those around you

The self hatred that blinds you
Binds you grinds you keeps you down
The world falls down around you
You build up walls around you
You war disgust like a crown

If you could see the you that I see
When I see you seeing me
You磀 see yourself so differently
Believe me

I know the self doubt that runs inside your mind
I know the self doubt that treats you so unkind

If you could see the you that I see
When I see you
You would see things differently
I assure you

See me - Put yourself in my place
Be me - Put my eyes in your face
Maybe then you�?l see why this place terrifies me
And why I磛e got to get myself away
So hard to deal with the ones who can磘 feel
They continually blow my mind

No need - I磛e burned enough times myself
You磖e like me - Sometimes you scare yourself
The things that you think
and the way that you feel
Makes you think you磖e all alone
When you go outside
And try to find a familiar mind
It really lets you know that you磖e on your own
So unknown

When those walls close in around you
When all about you doubt you
When the world can live without
Get a grip and keep it
You see how hard they�?l shove you
Hat your guts and tell you they love you
Get a grip right now
You see how far you get pushed
How long they�?l hold you down
Feed you kies
Drive you insane
Give you poison to kill your pain

Know me - I see the fear in your eyes
Pull back - There are some things to realize
so hard to deal with the ones who aren磘 real
It磗 unbelievable what they�?l put you thru
Twist you up inside
Filthify and punish your mind
You don磘 have to live like that
You磛e got to get your self respect
Jump back, get your self respect
You磛e got to jump back
Keep your self respect intact
You磛e got to keep it like that
Your self respect

You turned me in and you burned me out
You pulled me in and you locked me out
Yuo ripped your feelings right across my back
You didn磘 see that I was bleeding
You turned away when I spoke to you
You looked away when I looked right thru you
You didn磘 need to do that to me

When I touched you
Did you feel it?
Did you ever feel anything at all?
Do you ever lie awake at night?
do you ever think of me?
I磛e got my arms wrapped around myself
You磛e got your arms around someone else
I try to tell myself
I磎 not down

I didn磘 want it but I got it anyway
I didn磘 want it and I couldn磘 get away
I can磘 deny it
I miss you
Even though it hurts inside
I keep a lie alive

I wrack my brain trying to remember
Everything I said to you
I wreck my brain trying to dismember
Any part attached to you
I磎 sorry I still feel this pain inside
It shows on my face like a scar
It磗 something I can磘 hide
Some people are better left alone
It hurts so much when you have nothing to say
It hurts so much to have to walk away

I looked deep into your eyes
Saw men lying broken
Shattered at the bottom of your well
You took their simple affection
Turned it into bad infection
Sent them packing straight to hell
I see waht sweats you
Reality threatens you
You can't hide yourself from me
When you see the one that laughs at you
It's me

Canine men
Fighting, lying, trying to be the one
That gets to feel your touch
I see them lined up like broken heroes
Spitting out pieces of their broken luck
I guess I've got good sense and hindsight
Because to me it never meant that much
When you see the one that sees thru you
It's me

Wasted time spent thinking about you
You know I've come to hate myself
Smahing my hands against the wall
Trying to forget the foolih way I felt
You're so kind when it serves you well
Your cruelty

No more trying
No more lying
No more messing around with my mind
I'm going, I'm gone

Because now I see you
You must think I'm blind
When you need those arms around you
You won't find my arms around you

When you see the one that sees thru you
When you see the one that laughs at you
It's me

I磎 so confused
Can磘 find the line
Between what I use and abuse

So unreal
How I lie and try to deny
The things that I feel

I�?l love you and hate you both at the same time
Heal you and hurt you and laugh as you cry

Why I don磘 know
Right at you right in you
Right thru you right past you I go

Can磘 you see
First it磗 him then it磗 her
Then it磗 us then it磗 you
Then it磗 me

Misery, depression, elation all mine
Refine, confinement all my design

You and me
Pathetic we cling
We think that we磖e free

Ugly
You and me
You see, you see the real me

So obscene
Flapping wildly
You see what I mean

Keep away
Can磘 see why you do what you do
And say what you say
