His silhouette lingers
And still I have yet to let him know
A metal through his fingers
Is the only bond
That keeps us
Close

I've tried to move from it
But his mark finds wherever I go
Believing I've lost it
There in my mind
Lives his ghost

What turns your back when you sense someone's broke in?
What makes you laugh when you see it's an old friend?
Who burns your past when your future is frozen?
Who breathes their last whilst being unnoticed?

All silence is golden
All silence is golden
All silence is golden
All silence is golden

You're on the run now
Under the gun of someone's scope
The line won't catch up to you, no
It only burns a thinner rope
But I'm so proud of how
You've escaped every beaten road
No matter how this turns out
I will know
You played it cut and cold

What turns your back when you sense someone's broken?
What makes you laugh when you see it's an old friend?
Who burns your past when your future is frozen?
Who breathes their last whilst being unnoticed?

All silence is golden
All silence is golden
All silence is golden
All silence is golden
