Lyrics
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 truths are 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?
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
