Perfect World Lyrics
somewhere between a lie and truth lies a subtle line of gray
and although it's undetectable, it's reflected in all we say
we don't want to hate or judge each other
we just want to live our lives
to save ourselves, we must seek the truth
and recognize these rites;
I have my motivation, prejudice and pain
i will not live my life, live my life in vain
this more-than-human condition, a denial of our flaws
we want the effects of perfection, but disregard the cause
a simple mistaken judgement, an unmistakable fact of life
we want to say we can do no wrong
but wrong's what defines right
in a perfect world that i can't live
we're falliable, we're so fragile, we suffer for our sins
we have to learn to learn from our mistakes
and somehow make amends
stress and instability, depression and dismay
we want to live without regrets but there is no other way
you can't have it
you can't have it all.
