addicted to perfection

perfection

play and play and touch the strings

over and over 'til getting it right

and smile and nod and try and try

again and again 'til they're satisfied

and hold yourself but never stop

and try the new but keep the old

and force too much but get the sleep

and grow and grow and be better

perfection

is unforgiving

repeat

repeat

repeat

repeat

repeat

is unforgiving

causing you to dissolve

and burn and drown and choke

over a small mistake
