Perfectly Flawed

"You're perfectly flawed, you're perfectly incomplete." - Otep

Perfect to the extreme, cake the makeup on honey

Even tell yourself you're beautiful, your beauty cannot be matched

Revering in your own glory, blind eye to flaws
Fixing yourself hours each day, just to make them turn a look
Every guy needs to look at you, you're the prettiest of them all
Cauterizing off any need for emotion, a porcelain doll

Trying so hard to live in this world, without cracking
Living day by day, working on perfecting everything about yourself

You don't even acknowledge anyone else, it's only you

 

Faking everything, just to live up to expectations

Listening to rumors spread about you, and your perfections

Always falling short of good, behind that of great

Wilting slowly, petal by petal falls to the cold heart

Encountered in that perfectly flawed girl, crying at night

Dreading her next performance, her next day
