Garbage
Silence Is Golden (Demo Sept 14, 1999)
[Verse 1]
If I am silent, then I am not real
If I speak up, then no one will hear
If I wear a mask, then there's somewhere to hide

[Chorus 1]
Silence is golden
I have been broken
Safe in my own skin
So nobody wins

[Verse 2]
If I raise my voice, will someone get hurt?
And if I can't feel, then I won't get touched
If no truths are spoken, then no lies can hide

[Chorus 2]
Silence is golden
I have been broken
Safe in my own skin
So nobody wins
Won't someone listеn
I have been broken
Safe in my own skin
So nobody wins
[Bridge]
Can you hеar me cry?
Do you understand me?

[Outro]
Won't someone listen?
Nobody gets in
My body's a temple
But nothing is simple
Something was stolen
I have been broken
Silence is golden
Safe in my own skin
Safe in my own skin
Won't someone listen?
Nobody gets in
My body's a temple
My body's a temple
My body's a temple
Something was stolen
No, nothing is simple
My body's a temple
Silence is golden
But nobody wins and
I'm safe in my own skin
I'm safe in my own skin
Somebody listen
