Chefsache ESC 2025:
Jonathan Henrich - "Golden Child"

Golden Child

I'm nodding my head and I smile as they brag about me
They tell every soul I'm the golden child ahead of my dreams hm
But when I'm alone this thick blanket of pride suffocating my mind makes it draining to shine sometimes

I drive through the woods and I scream like a child
I'm wishing they could hear all my quiet
I'm trying so hard to be the one they compiled but I
I can't breathe

I'm a window trapped mannequin with strangers dreams on my skin
They're thicker than armour but the stinging comes from within
I have to get out yeah I'll run for my life it's not too late to thrive I won't drown in their pride this time
But my pretentious incitement just fades into silently nodding and smiling

So I drive through the woods and I scream like a child
I'm wishing they could hear all my quiet
I'm trying so hard to be the one they compiled but I
I can't breathe

When you gloat for the neighbours
Spreading the word "the golden child left the nest and conquers the world"
While I'm sitting upstate in a school that you pay for
Which makes me shut up so I don't sound ungrateful

So I drive through the woods and I scream like a child
I'm wishing you could hear all my quiet
I'm trying so hard be the one you designed but I
I
Oh I drive through the woods and I scream like a child
I'm wishing you could hear all my quiet
I'm trying so hard to be the one you deѕigned but I
I can't breаth
Oh I I
