Run Silent Run Deep Lyrics

Run Silent Run Deep

The walls of the Ironbound sweat rivers of mud

They traipse through the tar pits to deposit the daily blood

And he's thinkin' and he's tryin'

He's tryin' to think but he's too thought out to try

It Runs Silent it Runs Deep.

You're not begging for forgiveness

Just a few hours sleep

But your sleep never comes

His house ain't nothin' but a little hole in the ground

No windows in so no light ever reaches down

He's laughin' and he's tryin'

And He's tryin' to laugh but he's too cried out to try

It Runs Silent it Runs Deep

You're not begging for forgiveness

Just a few hours sleep

But your sleep never comes

Then you're rippin' down the road at 125

You got no where left to go

You're always keeping it all inside.

Then the guard rail looks real good

So you inch a little closer

But like the time before and the time before that

You steer away

You know that this time you could have ended your pain

But you steer away

Now there's a tear in your eye

There's a tear in your eye

Cause you think you see something risin'

Way out there on the horizon

You swear you see somethin' risen way out there

You SEE something risen on the horizon

So you gotta steer away.

Cause you.. Run Silent...You...Run Deep

You're not beggin' for forgiveness just a few hours sleep

But your sleep never comes.
