Perfection |
LyricsPERFECTION© 2012 Bobby Sahlen, Gatorlegs Music, ASCAP Theodore Fredrickson, Starburst Music, BMI It's striving for perfection that keeps ruining his soul The driving towards connection so eternal yet se bold The hand inside the Master's glove that sometimes doesn't fit Ending up in failure, too painful to admit (chorus) Success is but a miracle; a moment lost in time Failure is the oracle choking on sublime So he strives to persevere, leaning toward ideal Enduring bumps along the way, hiding from surreal Eyeballing the big picture, stuck inside his past Drinks magical elixir though elation never lasts He peeks into the heavens, revealing monstrous lies Picking at the age old scabs, wide open to his eyes (repeat chorus) (break) (bridge) Spitting bitter bile, with a deep primordial scream Falling short of his ideal, he never can redeem Tilting at the windmills of unreasoned expectation Like scratching cross a chalk board, defying explanation (repeat chorus) |
