All alone for the first time

at least that's how it seemed to be

From out of nowhere they shake me

Run through my head and steal my thoughts away

There's not any reason

They come to call

Can hardly think at all

Steel rhythm haunting me

Now an uncertainty

Surround me - and bound me

The silence makes it after all

Through the pain they erase me

Dig there claws into my mind and soul

The simple ways they take me

I'm hardened to where I must go

Steel rhythm haunting me

Now an uncertainty

Surround me - and bound me

The silence makes it after all

After all

Feel rhythm and silence

As it washes over me

Hard pressed at the moment

But it's all that I believe

Steel rhythm in my head

Losing all of what's been said

Foul demons of silence

With their claws all over me

I've struggled through these moments

The harbinger of shame

The sound of silence is so tense

It crushes me into this hell again

Steel rhythm haunting me

Now an uncertainty

Surround me - and bound me

The silence makes it after all

Somehow I'll make it through

Just like I used to do

Surround me - and bound me

The silence makes it after all

And now I

Feel rhythm and silence

As it washes over me

Hard pressed at the moment

But it's all that I believe

Steel rhythm in my head

Losing all of what's been said

Foul demons of silence

With their claws all over me
