"Perfection"

Lyrics by Degan
Music by Degan and Fin

Naughty or nice have you been, my dear?
You see, perfection only comes once a year
So stop keeping your lists, there's a new one right here
I wonder if you'll ever completely hear
Regretting how you treated her
Suffering through your thoughts you stir
Loathing Trust me, she does too
And she still talks about you
There's a scar on her back
From the kindness that you lack
She can't open her eyes
Without hoping that she dies
Whatever unpleasant past you had
With your brother and your dad
It's no reason to act
With such dysfunctional tact
On your flesh and your blood
She can't wash off all the mud
From her nightmares and dreams
Memories still make her scream
And she screams
And she heaves
Perfection
Never leaves
(The number you have dialed has been changed. The new number is--)
A secret that you'll never find out
This is perfection and its sacrilege throughout
So you'd better not cry and you'd better not pout
'Cause your present's empathy so enjoy all the self-doubt
Hope you spend your lasting days
Counting all the rotten ways
Did you punch her in the eye
Did you want to make her cry
She's been fired from her job
'Cause her mind is what you rob
There's a special spot in Hell
Waiting for who made her yell
So do us all a favor
Give your life a waiver
Your standards ungodly high
She can't even ask you why
Why?
And she screams
And she heaves
Perfection
Never leaves
Why?
(We're sorry, the number you have dialed is not in service at this time.)
Everything you have done
Can be summarized in one
"I can never love you
Because I'm above you"
You ask for perfection, for her to not resist
In a perfect world you wouldn't exist
