Death By Perfection by Maia Sharp Lyrics
He shook his head and said
we see a lot of this
but it's still so sad
it was done at the hands of someone
who didn't know what they had
Used to be so innocent and wild
with a light all it's own
this tragedy could've been avoided
if they'd just left it alone
But no they took something beautiful
straightened the curves and they filled in the cracks
'til it was unrecognizable
they shined it refined it
until they could see their own reflection
death by perfection
He said come here and let me show you what I've found
you see these lines
there was a struggle and then a surrender
it's got all of the signs
I said it could've lead a revolution
but they kept in a cage
he smiled as if he was listening
and I initialed the page
Oh they took something beautiful
straightened the curves and they filled in the cracks
'til it was unrecognizable
they shined it refined it
until they could see their own reflection
it could only be death by perfection
I'm flawed and wide open to rejection
it doesn't sound so glamorous I know
but better that than bend to their perception
'cause what I just saw that's no way to go
Oh they took something beautiful
straightened the curves and they filled in the cracks
'til it was unrecognizable
they shined it refined it
until they could see their own reflection
death by death by...
death by perfection
