From the recording Golden Boy
When you create an idealized version of yourself to deserve someone else's love...
Lyrics
I’m an affirmation addict
Find me in the attic
Hiding from my fear of rejection
Faded complexion
Lost my direction, oh
I’ll do anything for you to see me
As long as it’s in neon light, neon light
I’ll do anything for you to see me
As long as I look sparkly bright, sparkly bright
I’ll be your golden boy
I’ll be your golden boy
I’ll be your favorite toy
As long as you make me shine
I’ll be your golden boy
I’ll be your golden boy
I’ll be your favorite toy
As long as you make me shine
I just overdosed on expectations
Commencing hyperventilation
I have this overwhelming
Need for perfection
For my own protection
Distorted reflection, oh
I’ll do anything for you to see me
As long as it’s in neon light, neon light
I’ll do anything for you to see me
As long as I look sparkly bright, sparkly bright
I’ll be your golden boy
I’ll be your golden boy
I’ll be your favorite toy
As long as you make me shine
I’ll be your golden boy
I’ll be your golden boy
I’ll be your favorite toy
As long as you make me shine
Oooh
Oooh
Oooh
I know you love when I’m happy
But can you love me when I’m not
Turns out being your golden boy
Is harder than I thought
But still
I’ll be your golden boy
I’ll be your golden boy
I’ll be your favorite toy
As long as you make me shine
I’ll be your golden boy
I’ll be your golden boy
I’ll be your favorite toy
As long as you make me shine
I’ll be twice as good
To get half as much
I’ll be twice as good
To get half as much
I’ll be your golden boy
I’ll be your golden boy
I’ll be your favorite toy
As long as you make me shine
