Tonight I pressed a pencil to paper
Was surprised I didn’t see Shakespeare
Gave on up, and gave in
Broken lead, bleeding a bad dream
Wake me up when I’ve got my trophy
Don’t wanna try, just wanna win
Expecting eyes pinned to my neck
They’d rather me dead than imperfect
Golden child, where did you go wrong?
Where have you been all night long?
Golden child, silver spoon in mouth
Let them talk as you let them down
2:00 A.M. with something on my breath
Blue ribbons won’t get outta my head
Is this who I wanna be?
Freedom’s tasting so damn addictive
Perfection was so damn restrictive
When I fuck up, I am free
Expecting eyes pinned to my neck
They’d rather me dead than imperfect
Golden child, where did you go wrong?
Where have you been all night long?
Golden child, silver spoon in mouth
Let them talk as you let them down
Golden child
Show them child
You’re golden child
Golden child
Show them child
You’re golden
