Sound of Silence Lyrics

My plight has have fallen on deaf ears
But you don't hear
In shallow graves we lay
Living as we all decay

I bury all remarks
But they lay waiting in the dark
I feel your hands around my throat
I feel your hands around my throat

I can't live life
I can't live life this way, I can't carry the weight
I can't live life
I can't live life this way, I cannot compensate

Your oppression cuts me to the bone
I've always known
I'm not heard but there are
Only so many words

I bury all my remarks
But they lay waiting in the dark
I feel your hands around my throat
I feel your hands around my throat

I can't live life
I can't live life this way, I can't carry the weight
I can't live life
I can't live life this way, I cannot compensate

You can't hold me down
I stand my ground, yeah, yeah

My plight have fallen on deaf ears
But you don't hear
In shallow graves we lay
Living as we all decay

I bury all remarks
But they lay waiting in the dark
I feel your hands around my throat
I feel your hands around my throat

I can't live life
I can't live life this way, I can't carry the weight
I can't live life
I can't live life this way, I cannot compensate, compensate
