Silence Is Golden Lyrics - Beautifulgarbage - Garbage

If I am silent then I am not real 

But 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 truths are spoken then no lies can hide 

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
