Perfection by Elijah Moffe Lyrics

No matter how hard
We always strive to achieve more.
To be greater, to be more wise
All at the cost of our true lives.
Stress, sweat, blood, tears
All daunting barriers that must be overcome.
Nobody understands.

Failure is not an option,
As all depends on my ever-so powerful word.
Overwhelming as it may be,
These mounting pressure fall unto me,
My jurisdiction being only and absolute.

Looking across the convex glass,
The opposite seems to be inferior, yet preferable.
Disappointment, fear, uncertainty;
Each succeeding in deterring me
From this ill-perceived utopia.

So here I sit, caged in with my emotions
Afraid of my own weaknesses.
Perfection created these bars,
Yet perfection never seems quite attainable.
