you laugh anyway
deep cuts really fucking deep cuts but
your smile never fades
life has been a douchebag

in a world full of snakes your a saint

you're the love in a world full of hate
golden thats what you are
you're fucking golden
golden just like a star
'bout to explode
and I wish you could see

the happiest kid in the world
golden that's what you are
you're fucking golden

door shut you think am I enough
it's a quiet pain
you're tough you just keep it locked up
for a rainy day
life has been a douchebag
