You've finally arrived and it all feels like a test
You give it a try, but you're always second best
When everyone is tempting you to look just like all the rest
They ask you to play, when surrender is the game
And no one likes to lose, so in turn you hide your shame
Behind matching eyes in the lost face of the masses
I would like to take the time to remind you
Some say I'm a mess but the message is clear
These are the things that have led me to here
Stand up, fight perfection
What is all the obsession
Take off the mask of regret
And look just like you
The unknown is killing me
But it's all I ever knew
With no clue to where I'm going
Just know what I'm going through
Will I ever get there?
It's just something I must do
I would like to take the time to remind you
Some say I'm a mess but the message is clear
These are the things that have led me to here
Stand up, fight perfection
What is all the obsession
Take off the mask of regret
And look just like you
I would like to take the time to remind you
Some say I'm a mess but the message is clear
These are the things that have led me to here
I would like to take the time to remind you
some say I'm a mess but the message is clear
These are the things that have led me to here
These are the things that have led me to here
Stand up, fight perfection
What is all the obsession
Take off the mask of regret
And look just like you
Stand up, fight perfection
What is all the obsession
Take off the mask of regret
And look just like you
These are the things that have led me to here
These are the things that have led me to here
These are the things that have led me to here
These are the things that have led me to here
