Be Perfect
Born first out of everyone.
Be perfect.
Dreams taken away, childhood taken away.
Be perfect.
Work from spring morning to winter dusk.
Be perfect.
Work for only pride.
Be perfect.
Last chance, first break.
Be perfect.
**** your time.
Be perfect.
Lynch your imagination.
Be perfect.
Bomb your audition.
Be perfect.
**** your body.
Be perfect.
Forced to fight his vision.
Be perfect.
Pay the ultimate price.
Be perfect.
Sell you endless lies.
Be perfect.
Sell lies to your friends.
Be perfect.
Forced to live a new life.
Be perfect.
Uninspiring schools.
Be perfect.
Puts you in despair.
Be perfect.
Bitten by critics.
Be perfect.
Water leaves more thirst.
Be perfect.
Perfect.
Perfect.
Perfect.
Perfect.
Perfect.
Perfect, for everybody else.
But when does perfection become self-loathing?
