Dandelion

In a world that constantly tells us to strive for perfection in all we do, I have to ask...is it wise? One of my simplest songs, ever. One vocal, two instruments, three fx sends. That's it. Lyric below (and yeah, I "borrowed" from a Shakespearean sonnet):

Perfection is...a car chase
Round a long and curving wall
Sometimes I catch a glimpse of it
But only see its back

Perfection is...a mirror
In a grimy sideshow hall
Distorting my reality
Shows only what I lack

Now I don't pine for nothing
I don't pine for all
I only pine for just enough
To keep me from the wall

Your youth's proud livery
So gazed on now
Will someday hence
Not grow so rich a yield
When 60 winters
Crowd upon your brow
And dig deep trenches
In your beauty's field

Now I don't pine for nothing
I don't pine for all
I only pine for just enough
To keep me from the wall

Now I don't pine for nothing
I don't pine for all
I only pine for just enough
To keep me from the wall

And that's better than nothing
When perfection is illusion
Perfection is illusion

Perfection is
