Garbage - Silence is Golden

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 don't ask me why.

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?
Did you take my hand?
Did 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.
