Silence Is Golden Songtext

von Garbage

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
I won't get touched
If no truce was 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
