Perfection? Lyrics by Guilt Machine

On This Perfect Day

2009

You look different in this light
Thoughtful in the morning air
Shifting in the golden glow of the array
Still I'd know you anywhere

You look distant in this light
Troubled in the morning air
Waiting for a chance to live what you've become
I'd see through you anywhere

And all the things you are
And all you've lost
Is perfection what you really want?
And all the skies we share
The dreams we walked
I'll be waiting here alone
The darkness calls you home

You look tragic in this light
Shattered in the morning air
It fell apart the day they learned your name
But still I'd follow anywhere

You look dangerous in this light
Desperate in the morning air
Waiting for a chance to live what you've become
I'd see through you anywhere

And all the things you are
And all you've lost
Is perfection what you really want?
And all the skies we share
The dreams we walked
I'll be waiting here alone
The darkness calls you home

I was lost in the perfect world they promised me
I was scarred when they tore the mask away
I was amazed at the lies we refused to see
I was afraid of the emptyness that you could leave behind

You look distant in this light
Troubled in the morning air
Waiting for a chance to live what you've become
I'd see through you anywhere

And all the things you are
And all you've lost
Is perfection what you really want?
And all the skies we share
The dreams we walked
I'll be waiting here alone
When the darkness calls you home
When it calls you home

What's one more year
A trip around the sun?
Rise up and leave me
The journey's done
What's one more year
Circling the sky?
The future's in motion
You're free to fly

Can we hear the past?
Do we dare to stand alone?
Can we take it back
Make a new life on our own?

Can we hear the past?
Do we dare to stand our ground?
Can we take it back?
Can we turn it all around?

What's one more year
A trip around the sun?
Rise up and leave me
The journey's done
What's one more year
Circling the sky?
The future's in motion;
You're free to fly

Can we hear the past?
Do we dare to stand alone?
Can we take it back
Make a new life on our own?

Can we hear the past?
Do we dare to stand our ground?
Can we take it back?
Can we turn it all around?
