Silence Is Golden

LYRICS

If I am silent then I am not real

If I speak up 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 cant feel then I cant get touched

If no truths are spoken no lies can hide

Silence is golden

something was stolen

safe in my own skin

so nobody wins

Wont someone listen

something was broken

Nobody gets it

nobody wins

Did you hear me speak?

Did you hear my voice?

Will you .....?

Will to take my hand?

Do you understand me?

Wont some listen

Silence is golden

my body's a temple

but nothing is simple

Wont someone listen

something was stolen

my body's a temple

but nothing is simple

Wont someone listen

my heart's been broken

silence is golden

nobody gets in

wont someone listen

my hearts been broken

my bodies a temple but nothing is simple

wont someone listen

I have been broken

my body's a temple

but nothing is simple

wont someone listen

I have been broken

silence is golden

wont someone listen?

Silence Is Golden live in Tuscon 1999
