Oh God

O SOFIA

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

In Our Dreams

This time seems
There's no getting out 
Of the headspace that 
You made yourself

You don't have it bad, 
But you're mad, and 
You mean to feel significant

Staring down the harm, 
You take it to the sun
To preach at all the pawns;
You don't fool me

Put down the guns
Come take a walk
Why don't you try
To get along?
It's not that hard
It never was 
To be a part
To be someone

The kid guards its toy
Like the thing is the last remaining
Sign of home

The freedom to say 
What you want like you can 
When you're among your own

It must be tiresome
To play a victim,
It must feel so absurd;
You don't fool me 
   
Put down the guns
Come take a walk
Why don't you try
To get along?
It's not that hard
It never was 
To be a part
To be someone

Put down the guns
Come take a walk
Why don't you try
To get along?
It's not that hard
It never was 
To be a part
To be someone
