lyrics

Perfect
When I first heard it
The thought was absurd
That a word
Could have stirred in me
Such misery
Come follow me

Complex
Reading the mindset
Hitting rewind
To the time
When behind me was
Nothing to see
Come follow me


My mind
It goes places only I see
And hears things that only I know
My heart
It goes everywhere I can be
And it never wishes to let go
(Never wishes to let go)

I try to be dedicated because
I don't want them to have hated me but
No matter what happens it's never enough
It never surpasses the thought that it has to be


Perfect
When I first heard it
The thought was absurd
That a word
Could have stirred in me
Such misery
But I've been

Thinking
(I need it, I want it, I'm running 'till I got it)
Mental binge drinking
(I need it, I want it, I'm running 'till I got it)
Over the present
The past
(I need it, I want it, I'm running 'till I got it)
And the words that were said
Interlinking
(I need it, I want it, I'm running 'till I got it)
Now I'm stuck

In a
(I need it, I want it, I'm running 'till I got it)
Tired enigma
(I need it, I want it, I'm running 'till I got it)
A flawless idea
Was flawed
(I need it, I want it, I'm running 'till I got it)
By the means of astronomical
Stigma
(I need it, I want it, I'm running 'till I got it)
You say I'm a

Virgo
(Virgo)
(I need it, I want it, I'm running 'till I got it)
When you first said so
(When you first said so)
(I need it, I want it, I'm running 'till I got it)
The thought was absurd
That a word
(I need it, I want it, I'm running 'till I got it)
Could have focused so directly
On me
(I need it, I want it, I'm running 'till I got it)
So come follow


And my friends, oh my friends
They grew up to become doctors and scientists and happy
While I just sit here trying to make everything work perfectly
But
I will not feel bad for the things it's brought
For the heart it's beat for the mind it's wrought
For the bad choices that I've made so far
If I can't find perfect then I'll just
Blame it on the stars


I need it, I want it, I'm running 'till I got it
I need it, I want it, I'm running 'till I got it


I'm not done yet, can I tell you a little secret that
I have to share
I never said that perfect would make me happy
(What will then dear John)
It just sits there
So once you reach it
What's left?
(Can you keep up, can you keep up)

Keep up
I try to keep up
I could spent all my life
Sprinting so hard that the flaws never catch up
But it'll never be enough without

Perfect
When I first heard it
The thought was absurd that a word
Could have stirred in me such misery
Don't follow me
Don't follow me


In I breathe and
Out I blow the
Mystery of
Never knowing

There's no peace
Without frustration
Happiness is
Your creation

In I breathe and
Out I blow the
Mystery of
Never knowing

There's no peace
Without frustration
Perfection is
Your creation
