Don’t you see I’m perfect
No, no...
They don’t know me
Don’t you see I’m perfect
No, no...
They don’t know me
Not anymore...

My chest has been ripped open, seems every question's loaded
Trying to understand what's going on, walking through this city
What bubbles beneath the surface, and there's another disturbance
I'm always such a burden, need another glass of whiskey
I always seem depressed so what the fuck am I missing
What else do I have to give up to get a taste of victory
I'm only getting older, doubt I'll make it as a poet
Will I still be in the same place when I get to my fifties
Mumbling these judgements, nothing I see is certain
Seems I'm going in circles, running after only theories
So I gotta keep this mask on so that I can keep looking cheery
Gotta hide away the pain before I end it all swinging
Heart deep as the oceans, gotta keep it cold like frozen
If I don't there's no way to stop myself from feeling guilty
I have no real purpose, but ending it all seems risky
So sit down, we can talk, I'll need another glass of whiskey

Don’t you see I’m perfect
No, no...
They don’t know me
Don’t you see I’m perfect
No, no...
They don’t know me
Not anymore

I'm still so far behind, I don't know what to decide
Because no matter what my choice is, I'll just feel heartless
Seems no one loves me, so I guess you can call me Monday
Knees finally buckling, I'll never make it as an artist
Especially when all I can see around me right now is darkness
Cause there's only so long I can continue to be docile
Imagine what it implies, from this light and love, I'm deprived
At this point, I can't tell blood or tears, they're all droplets
Stay deep in my studies, gotta make it through life humbly
It may look like I'm hurried, just ignoring all my problems
Because if I don't I'll go crazy, feel it's already starting
But at this point I believe I think I'm some kind of martyr
Before I resign, my eulogy I'll fucking recite
To everyone who was there, didn't do shit when I toppled
I'll put it bluntly, you wonder why I was hostile
Because I'm perfect, and it's not always gold when it sparkles

Don’t you see I’m perfect
No, no...
They don’t know me
Don’t you see I’m perfect
No, no...
They don’t know me
Not anymore

Bring you down into the ground
Bring you down, bring you down to the ground
Bring you down into the ground
Bring you down, bring you down

Don’t you see I’m perfect
No, no...
They don’t know me
Don’t you see I’m perfect
No, no...
They don’t know me
Not anymore
