lyrics

I'm a perfectionist, but you'd never guess,
I don't let my tongue loose long enough,
before my last words out I cut it off,
and I scream and I scream,
internally concede what's now routine defeat,
to the stranger living inside of me,

and I hope that saying things could be much worse will soon stop carrying the weight it's been for weeks it seems, so I can clear my head,
and try an actual remedy for my alarming lack of energy,
it's that or giving up instead

we try to move forward,
but each time we're met with a hard truth,
we're not done with tripping ourselves up

in an attempt to find a sense of well spent time,
I've been writing to-do lists that I know I'll never finish,
but I know that I'm to blame, my faults have never changed,
I'm trying hard to live with them

I'll let you know the day they catch up to me

I'm a perfectionist, with broken wrists, I can't hold up my end of the deal I made with my hands tied,
I'm just trying to decide how to explain them away as anomalies,
each time, you see through my white lies

I need to stop selling myself short, I need to get myself in gear,
that much is clear,
I'm sick of apathetic sentiments, that are wearing my motivation thin

in an attempt to find a sense of well spent time,
I've been writing to-do lists that I know I'll never finish,
but I know that I'm to blame, my faults have never changed,
I'm trying hard to live with them
