lyrics

It's an infection, an endless search for imperfections
Burned into my brain,
What we can't obtain.

Won't show my face because it's just a mistake to be erased.
Burned into my head.
I must be perfect.

I must be perfect.

Reset my code, align my strings before I start growing wings.
Burned into my head
I must be perfect.

For years I sat here waiting,
Adhered to their dictating.
Lived as a five star rating.
But now I want it to change.

And I wonder why?
I've lived this way my entire life.

But I'm tied here
Bound to the ceiling
I'm the toy of a puppeteer lost without feeling.

It's an infection, an endless search for imperfections
Burned into my brain,
What we can't obtain.

Won't show my face because it's just a mistake to be erased.
Burned into my head.
I must be perfect.

I must be perfect.

Reset my code, align my strings before I start growing wings.
Burned into my head
I must be perfect.

(Reset my code, align my strings before I start growing wings.
Burned into my head
I must be perfect.)
