If I am silent then I am not real
If I speak up then no one will hear
If I wear a mask there's somewhere to hide

    Almost unbearably heavy, if you listen [x2] I've been seeking for the right word. It really is, especially if you stop and think of its devastating, ugly subject matter. The pain in her voice towards the end is gut-wrenching and at the final, airy "safe in my own skin" you just feel gutted and empty, only with a bitter, bitter taste in your mouth. People should give this song more love.

    Whoever mastered this deserves to be shot in the head. Nice song, but everything is clipped and flat sounding... the guitars sound they are those crushers used for cars.

    this is my least favourite off of the album. i can't really pinpoint why. it's just grating for some reason.

    When Shirley begins belting out that somehow screeching, hacking, yet gorgeous and beautifully felt bit at right about 2:15 or so, I actually die a little inside. You know, the "Won't someone listen? Nobody gets it. My body's a temple." onto "Silence is golden. I have been broken. Something was stolen." and then crashing into the end, near 3:30 when it's just Shirley and those lyrics... wow. Just wow. This song is so underrated. One of their best, definitely. Almost unbearably heavy, if you listen.
