Perfection

Perfection

I know I make mistakes

Down wrong paths I may stray

It's just my nature

And all the silly games I play

I'm not asking for perfection

Beneath the suns golden ray

Or the unreachable impossible

In the tree branches faint sway

For I can say it will be alright

Tell you it will be okay

But I can't convince you 

To believe these words I say

We fight this time

No way to replay

When we're running

With these bones turned to macrame

When in the moment 

We all fall prey 

To the obscure ending

In this handwritten screenplay

I can say it will be alright

Tell you it will be okay 

But I can't convince you 

To believe these words I say

And when you feel 

Like nothing but a castaway

Your ending torn

Left in disarray

I'll be sorry I can't help you

Find the strength to breakaway

When all you're left with 

Is the nerve to run away

I want to say it will be alright

Tell you it will be okay

But how can I convince you 

To believe these words I wish to say
