Silence Is Golden

I've been made to sit by myself,
to believe the words "I'll be right back".
I've been made to speak to myself
because you can't talk to the girl left in the cracks.

I just listen to the words about me,
told that to love is to abuse and abuse.
I just listen to the word of me,
I am here though I got nothing to lose.

And I have something to say!
You all seem to walk away,
and I don't wanna stay here.
I don't wanna be isolated into fear .
And I have something to say!
You all hate me in every way.
These are the feelings I've been holding in.
You all see that my silence is golden.

I've decided to leave this cruel world.
I have a friend I've created to play with me.
I decided to leave from this cruel world
I have a friend in my mind that actually likes me.

I've I decided to leave into my mind.
Its the place I know I belong.
I always felt better living inside.
My friend can easily come along.

And I have something to say!
You all seemed to walk away,
and I don't wanna stay here.
I don't wanna be isolated into fear.
I and I have something to say!
You all hate me in every way.
These are the feelings I've been holding in.
You all see that my silence is golden.
