| That Kind of Perfection | ||||||
| Love comes from the dirt in my backyard But you come from the shit that made the flowers grow We get deformed by society We become perverted by humanity And we blemish ourselves Leaving cancerous growths on our souls That can't be removed Because we have nothing left To hold on to Except one another Hate rises up from the sewers Leaving a stench in the air on the hottest summer day We lose sight of ourselves We drown in our own eternity And we corrupt our bodies and our minds To achieve this idealistic perception Of what life is supposed to be Because we can't get past the dirty curtins That cloud our windows And we can't find the rusted key That opens the front door Because we're too afraid we might find someone That turns our world upside down And we're afraid of losing control ...We're afraid of that kind of perfection |
