Perfect World - Whippersnapper

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

I have my motivation, prejudice and pain

No, 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 judgment

An unmistakable fact of life

We want to say we can do no wrong

But wrong’s what defines right

In a perfect world, in a perfect world

In a perfect world that I can’t live

In a perfect world, in a perfect world

In a perfect world that I can’t live

In a perfect world, in a perfect world

In a perfect world that I can’t live

We’re fallible, 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
