lyrics

Imperfection holds weight over memories
I was taught perfection hides behind a lock and a key
But half of our teachings are fantasies
Or at the very least unreachable by me
Imperfection's a ghost in my chest
With an icy palm over my breath

Everyone says "Can you hear it?"
I turn away but I can still hear it
Spinning sounds will fill me up
Spinning sounds will tear me down
But inwards I hold desires
I deny that I set them aflame
Burning patterns engraved in my brain
Outwardly I hold steady
Daily routine of the needless
Looking down to remain in my muteness
Marching down pavement roads in the dar
A pointless trip that seeds me with worry
A couple steps that stop me from breath
And now I've disappeared from your eyes
A second more for me to fade away
A second more and I won't be afraid

You've got me right where you want me
Just close enough that you can haunt me
