Technical Perfection Lyrics

Technical Perfection

Stares me in the face

Technical Perfection

Won't avert its gaze

And I... I just want to be free

To express as me

But what does it even mean

To be free

To be me

To express as me

Authentically?

Technical Perfection

Always just out of my reach

Technical Perfection

Seems to really love to preach

Or just teach

But why... does it need me

To believe it's real

If it's actually real?

And why... does it need me to feel

That I need to be

What it wants me to be

Technical Perfection

Wants to put me in my place

Because Technical Perfection

Doesn't actually have a face

It's that thing... We reach for

With our minds

Telling us that we are blind

Or just behind

While it's Technical Perfection

That doesn't have a third eye

And it can't smile

Or cry

Technical Perfection

Is not for me to attain

Technical Perfection

Doesn't see the beauty of tears or rain

Or pain

Technical Perfection

You lonely, fragile thing

Technical Perfection

Your heart seems to be missing

But I... I can give you mine

And together we can cry

About all the times

When our hearts were taken apart

Trying to fix

What doesn't need fixing

Everything is not

Meant to be

Technical Perfection

At least not me

When I try

To be free

To express

Imperfectly
