Yes, child, silence is golden.
Hide your fears behind a shield of quiet
And no one will know how weak you are.
Trust us, child. We would never lie.
Yes, child, silence is your friend.
Keep your thoughts inside your secret mind
And no one can ever laugh at you.
Trust us, child. We want what's best for you.
Yes, child, silence is easy.
Give no attention to the outside world
And no one will make demands on you.
Trust us, child. We're the only ones you can.
Yes, child, silence is lonely.
Pay just this cost--it is not so much--
And no one will ever hurt you.
Trust us, child. What else can you do?
Yes, child, silence will kill you.
Hold it all in until you explode
But no one else will even care.
Trust us, child. We love you most of all.
