lyrics

Do you ever wonder about perfection?
What if it did exist as more than an opinion
What if there was a perfect something
I can tell you I have never seen it
Never heard of it through any TV
Never read about it through any paper
Never felt it through any form of fabric

we spend many nights dreaming about it
thinking about it
whenever we are crying inside
whenever hell has taken us for another ride
I don't know the way
It can not be bought
Maybe it starts with a clear minded thought

We don't have many of those these days
Too much hate and pre-determined rights and wrongs
Too much money hunger and bullshit songs
Too much jealousy for others
Because happiness is something our heart longs

We fight for it
Kill for it
Never ending attempts to steal perfection
If it did exist
We are only traveling farther from it

For me perfection is a state of mind
A level of confidence that only you can find
When you stop caring about false truth
and false dreams that keep us on this never-ending grind..
