gold plated

(album: age tape 8 - 2022)

Baby, you're gold plated
But on the inside cold and anxious
And maybe I'm wrong for thinking you're honest with yourself
But I think you and me are soul chasing
Having everything's overrated
So I sing songs you dance along until we melt

Feel like you're shiny on the outside, the inside is different
'Cause you're afraid of showing people everything you're missing
You put on a show, It only works for a minute
When you post on the 'Gram you follow numbers like religion
That affects the way you're livin'w
You ain't meant to see these things, they put you in a mental prison
You want the fancy things, the shiny rings on television
If you follow me I'll show you everything you're missing
Oh if you follow me I'll show you everything

You're gold plated
But on the inside cold and anxious
And maybe I'm wrong for thinking you're honest with yourself
But I think you and me are soul chasing
Having everything's overrated
So I sing songs you dance along until we melt

I know the pressure getting deep
I can see it in your face, forced to crack a smile
I can tell you're 'bout to break obsessing online
Putting everything in place
Didn't know the whole time your real life would go to waste
Just for pictures on a page
They say life is what you make it huh
The life you want instead Is full of fakes and lust
Jealousy don't help for much but if you follow me
I'll show you everything like it's

You're gold plated
But on the inside cold and anxious
And maybe I'm wrong for thinking you're honest with yourself
But I think you and me are soul chasing
Having everything's overrated
So I sing songs you dance along until we melt
