Perfection

Perfection

We all reach for the 

things untouchable,

unreachable to those

societis expectains dems unfit

 

Perfection

You gotta put on a 

simley fice

Don't let them see

Don't let them crack

that mask you spent so long making

while breaking yourself piece by piece

 

Perfection 

Just put on a pretty dress

A pretty mask

Sit back and relax 

They'll fall for it all

Your'elike an actress on a silver screen 

but you just want this movie to end

 

perfection

Don't screw up 

We are counting on you

We let you through 

Do you let us too?

 

Good!

WE'LL BREAK YOU THROUGH THE MASK

LET OUR WORDS SEEP THROUGH THE CRACKS

YOU CAN'T SURPASS THE EXPECTATOINS TO BE PERFECT 

ARE YOU WORTH IT!!

 

Perfection!
