Lyrics

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
No 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
No 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
There's a tear in your eye
There's a tear in your eye
There's a tear in your eye
And 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're gonna 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
No your sleep never comes
