Silent Muse – Perfect World lyrics

Perfect World

Inside this sympathetic stare
A still-born hope waits to collide
With any answer but the dream
It's once again denied
And yet with heals uncovered
And my ears fatally open I proceed
Through my mishapen myths
For what I think I need to be

I see it all around
So rare yet so abound

I tire of cries from all the blessed
Damned to demand their rightful fill
Who in the chase, race past
The target standing ever-still
I can't believe
I can't deny
I'm trapped by possibility
And bleeding time to try to divide
Pity from reality

Your perfect boy
My perfect girl
But this is not a perfect world
And all the light I shine on you
Will never make it so
Your perfect boy
My perfect girl
But God damn this imperfect world
That lays the path before us
Then leaves us the last to know

I hesitate and all is lost
Yet if I run, I pay the cost
My wall of words fills all with fear
But locked in silence I'm not here
I've planned and plotted my designs
Overturned stones and looked for signs
I postuluate over each cause
But logic doesn't rule these laws

I see it all around
So rare yet so abound

A jigsaw giant now, at best
I'm made-to-measure, fit-to-crack
And not a single outlet stands
That could not throw my anger back
Into my foaming heart, so choked upon
All it could ever be
Wondering when it might well be enough
To just be me
