Lyrics: Garbage. BeautifulGarbage. 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?t feel then I won?t get touched
If no truth is spoken then no lies can hide

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

Silence is golden, nobody gets in
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 gets in
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
