Man of Gold Lyrics

(That very first day, standing in those beautiful rays.
The sun warms my skin. Refutation has made me sick...
The sun burns my skin.)

Are you talking to me?
Speak now, or remain mute.

As I fell to my knees and watched it fade away
I could not accept this fucking travesty.
Never good enough, I screamed end this day,
for I was not the best, and I could never be.
End this day
As I stand now in shame, the mirror changed.
What now stares back at me - you will fear.
The man I want to be is more than any prophecy.
Made of gold, I can never be.
You will fear... You will fear - me.

Rise up, with us. Stand now, with me.

Get up, don't try to stop, your time is almost up.
Let imperfections go and fucking live it up.
Get up, won't let them stop, because you're all caught up.
Let perfection know...
You won't ever stop, until your time is up.
Let imperfections go and fucking live it up.
Get up, don't let them stop, because you're all choked up.
Let perfection know that it's time is almost- time is almost- up.

I know how it feels to not be good enough for anyone.

Watch me, as I live this play.
Darkness as my mind today, I will never give up, as it's forever tomorrow.
Watch me, as I die this day.
Perfection as our vice this way, the one such greatness would never follow
You.
You turned down all of those who tried,
and now I am all that you desire.
If perfection grants me any use
it is this answer: Fuck you.

You now know how it feels to not be good enough for me.
