*Note*  The outro also sounds good played with Part 1 as open, picked chords

Here are the lyrics:

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

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 truth 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 it
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
