[Verse 1]
Reminiscent of condescendant
Frivolous interferance
Simple judgement
Equivalent to fearing your own appearance
Apparent in all the messages written
Within your mirrors
Delirium seared in various crevices
Drawing nearer
Benevolent practices rapidly sever pulmonary recession
Changing the patterns protecting your own identity
Still feeling the corrodity soaking the man approaching me
Hoping the frozen ocean he walks isnt provoking me
To woefully develop an image coating my bogus seams
Holding up my character folded by an unruly means
I recognize debility founded in my many dreams
But enabling its amenity would simply never carry me
When notability mocks the soft elegance
Hidden away conveying a lost thought in salience
To bury the repression Ive faced
I erase a legacy
Saying I only am what I always pretend to be
[Verse 2]
The gold standard
Minds lined with brain cancer
The great banter
Gold chains and torn lanyards
Glamorized is a manor
Exonerated over true knowledge
And small occupational answers
We'll take your coveted j**els just to hold them for ransom
Staring back at your family theyre broken, beaten, and shattered
Your money pa**ion drives you but is that what youre after
Pulling up in stolen cars just to raise self values
Chaotic dancers, landing in many ominous stances
A romance depicting man and his aureate lances
Carving through the sands of unattainable chances
A picture painted on the canvas of a mans finances
But I guess its in the greatest interest
Of young kids and grown misfits
To just quit speaking up and listen
The things that youre given
Arent always what you need to take in
Why follow a gold standard
Drinking from cups of tin
