Crystal Moonlight Studios - The Gold Standard lyrics

[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
