Garbage » Silence Is Golden Lyrics

If I am silent
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?
If I can feel it
But I can't get touched
If no truce was spoken
Then don't ask me why

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

Won't someone listen
I have been broken
Safe in my own skin
So nobody wins

Did you hear me speak
Do you understand
Did you hear my voice
Did you take my hand
Did you understand me

Won't someone listen?
I have been broken
My body's a temple
But nothing is simple

Won't someone listen?
Something was stolen
Silence is golden
So nobody listen

Won't someone listen?
I have been broken
My body's a temple
But nothing is simple

Won't someone listen?
I have been broken
My body's a temple
But nothing is simple

Won't someone listen?
I have been broken
The silence is golden
I'm safe in my own skin

Won't someone listen?
I have been broken
My body's a temple
But nothing is simple
