Perfection

I’m at a loss for words that satisfy my purist heart

Why is nothing ever good enough

I’m stuck in limbo drowning in this glowing quicksand

I know it’s wrong but this shit gets tough

There’s a devil on my shoulder but he sounds just like a saint

Saying I should mull it over

Good things come to those who wait

And if you start to think to think you’re worthy

My friend that’s one mistake I’ll never let you make

That’s not your role to take

I have an obsession with reaching perfection

Will I ever learn my lesson

It can’t be or taught or bought

It’s not a real direction

So I need an answer for killing the cancer that festers in my soul

I’m sick of the fear of failure

We can never know how our master plan will go

I’m on a constant search to reach a false utopia

And that’s why I don’t feel I’m good enough

I know it’s pointless but I still seem to insist

Wish I could make my brain shut up for once

There’s a devil on my shoulder but he sounds just like a saint

Saying I should mull it over

Good things come to those who wait

And if you start to think to think you’re worthy

My friend that’s one mistake I’ll never let you make

That’s not your role to take

I have an obsession with reaching perfection

Will I ever learn my lesson

It can’t be or taught or bought

It’s not a real direction

So I need an answer for killing the cancer that festers in my soul

I’m sick of the fear of failure

We can never know how our master plan will go

How our master plan will go
