Silence Is Golden

They say silence is golden
So why is it so goddamn loud here?
Maybe that's why they're both so expensive
Silence and gold
Both so elusive

They say silence is golden
But made a bunch of noise saying it
Maybe it's another paradox of life
The kind of answer that brings more questions
More darkness that light

They say that silence is golden
I guess most people like silver better
Some even prefer the dull shine of copper (or no jewelry at all)
I guess I might settle for silver
As long as it's preceded and followed by gold
