Plastic Men

[Intro]

Yeah…
I see it
I just don’t want it

[Verse 1]

You talk soft, wear the right face
Borrowed morals, rented brave
Hands clean, never bled
Loud online, quiet when it’s said

You flex words, not weight
Crowd-approved, factory-made
Say “feelings” like it’s strength
But fold fast when there’s something at stake

[Pre-Chorus]

I don’t want control
I don’t want to lead
If I gotta drag you forward
You’re not built for me

[Chorus]

Plastic men in borrowed skin
Talk tough, but it’s paper-thin
Beta boys cosplaying brave
I don’t need what you pretend

Plastic men, same old grin
Scripted spine, counterfeit grin
Beta boys cosplaying brave
I don’t want what you defend

[Verse 2]

You kneel first, call it grace
Wear weakness like it’s fate
Beg approval, praise the leash
Confuse obedience with peace

You cancel risk, cancel fire
Call survival “toxic desire”
I don’t need loud men gone soft
I need calm hands forged by loss

[Pre-Chorus]

I don’t need a mascot heart
Or a spine made out of lines
If your courage needs a script
Don’t waste my time

[Chorus]

Plastic men in borrowed skin
Talk tough, but it’s paper-thin
Beta boys cosplaying brave
I don’t need what you pretend

Plastic men, pose and grin
Virtue loud, but hollow within
Beta boys cosplaying brave
I don’t fuck with plastic men

[Bridge]

I don’t argue
I disengage
Standards aren’t hate
They’re a line on the page

You call it cruel
I call it clear
If I’m stronger than you
Why would I stay here?

[Final Chorus]

Plastic men — not my type
Paper armor, borrowed fight
Beta boys cosplaying brave
I don’t lower what I like

Plastic men — step aside
I don’t soften to survive
Beta boys cosplaying brave
I don’t bend. I don’t comply
