"Silence Is Golden" lyrics

Silence Is Golden

If I am silent then
I am not real
If I speak up then
No-one will hear
If I wear a mask there's
Somewhere to hide

Silence is golden
I have been broken
Safe in my own skin
So nobody wins

If I raise my voice
Will someone get hurt?
And if I can feel it
Then I can't get touched
If no truths are spoken
Don't ask me why

Silence is golden
I have been broken
Safe in my own skin
So nobody wins

Silence is golden
Nobody cares and
Safe in my own skin
So nobody wins

Did you hear me speak?
Do you understand?
Did you hear my voice?
Will you hold my hand?
Do you understand me?

Won't someone listen?
Nobody cares and
My body's a temple
But nothing is simple

Silence is golden
I have been broken
Something was stolen
Safe in my own skin

Safe in my own skin
Won't someone listen?
My body's a temple
But nothing is simple

My body's a temple
But nothing is simple
Something was stolen
I have been broken

I have been broken
Silence is golden
I have been broken
Safe in my own skin
