Golden Boy

Golden boy
You're not listening
The whispering gives you away
Just tell the monsters even
Golden boys should dream
So no more haunting today

Golden boy
Ignore the dark you see
There are nightmares in all of our rooms
But when the day is done
You are my golden son
Beneath the silver moon

And if some locket chain
Or a wave of grain
Should dispute what's plain to see
You are the Aztec's pride
There is no denying
If you only believe

I'm not a golden boy
You're not listening
The darkness suits me alright
Quit bronzing all my stuff
My life is bronze enough
So kiss your illusions goodnight

And when you're feeling cold
There's a Calf, I'm told
Kindles faith in the naive
Open your eyes or you'll
Wear a crown of fool's gold
If you only believe

I'm not a golden boy
You get just what you see
The truth hides under your bed
And when the day is done
You are the only one
With golden boys in your head

(You are the Aztec's pride
There is no denying
If you only believe)

Goodnight, Golden boy
You aren't listening
The protest gives you away
Only the good lament
The pain that's Heaven-sent
So no more whispering today

Golden boy
Your song is incomplete
Our monsters don't know the tune
But when the day is done
You are my golden son
Beneath the silver moon

Beneath the sunrise soon
