Fault of the Perfectionist, Pt. 1 Lyrics by Jason Kanabay

Finish What I Started

2022

(You know the one thing I wish would’ve known going into this
Is that I’ll never be satisfied with what I create
It’ll never be perfect to me
Perfection is the enemy of great
That’s the fault of the perfectionist)
Got so many feelings I’m dealin’ with
Won’t ever talk about it
Been thinkin’ that what I’ve been thinkin’ inside of my head got me surrounded
And I know that I should ask for help but feel so overwhelmed
So imma do what I go back to and leave the problem how I found it
Been tryin’ to look on the brightside but the brightside got too dark
Got tired of holdin’ my head up, my neck was strained, bruised, and scarred
And even on my birthday I just thought about how scary the future really is (ooh)
I’ve been tryin’ to comprehend how I can live in a world of pretend
In a world where I’m only limited by my own two feet
But I’m scared to move ‘em forward
Only way to move ‘em forward is me
(Ooh) It’s me
You better get ready for when I’m ready to walk
Okay, it’s a new day
Maybe we’ll be okay
Just take a deep breath, take another step
We’ll be alright, alright
And I’m not sayin’ all my problems will just wash away
But nothing great is ever reached without the pain
You can give it a rest, but don’t give up yet
‘Cause we’ll be just fine
Just fine (yeah)
I’m worried that this project has gone too long
I’m worried that no one will understand when I write these songs
What is a sacrifice if the sacrificing is just a loss
And then it’s gone (yeah)
So much world, I’m sick of it all
All of these people, don’t get a single call
Feelin’ alone in this big old world
These feelin’s have demons I’m meanin’ these moments are endless swirls
These cold repetitions of visions inside of my wisdom can move in efficiently, differently
But I know they’ll never stand up to the final product inside of my brain at the end of the day
If you look for perfection, you’ll get misdirection
That word is infectin’, so full of deception
Reflectin’ that evil projection that tells you to give up to write you a lesson
Just feel (feel) (ooh)
Feel the rhythm work (work) (feel it now)
Just feel (feel) (yeah, feel)
And listen (yeah)
(Ooh)
(Feel)
(Ooh)
(Work)
(Ooh, yeah I feel)
(Feel)
(I can feel it now)
Okay, it’s a new day
Maybe we’ll be okay
Just take a deep breath, take another step
We’ll be alright, alright
And I’m not sayin’ all my problems will just wash away
But nothing great is ever reached without the pain
You can give it a rest, but don’t give up yet
‘Cause we’ll be just fine
(Anyway, maybe I’ll use this but I hope, I hope everything works out)
(And on that note, welcome to the finale)
