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

[Chorus 1] :

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

[Chorus 1]

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

[Chorus 2] :

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

[Chorus 2] x2

Won't someone listen?

I have been broken

The silence is golden

I'm safe in my own skin

[Chorus 2]
