[Verse 1]

Gold doesnt rust

No, not like iron

Shove me into all your desires

Write my letters of recommendation by the carnations

While you watch seamlessly

[Pre-Chorus]

Go for the gold you said

Cause 2nd place doesn't win a spot in your heart

[Chorus]

I don't wanna be

Locked in your trophy case

To collect the dust of your mistakes

And as you watch me rust

You keep that same smirk on your face

Don't lock me in your trophy case

[Verse 2: Garden of]

Trophy prize, boost to your ego

Melted down, 1538 degrees

Participation will get you nothing

But scars, marks and bruises all around

Now I’m deaf to the sound

[Pre-Chorus: Garden of]

Go for the gold you said

Cause 2nd place doesn't win a spot in your heart

[Chorus: Both]

I don't wanna be

Locked in your trophy case

To collect the dust of your mistakes

And as you watch me rust

You keep that same smirk on your face

Don't lock me in your trophy case
