I was frozen in a fragile world
Of make believe and empty lies
Twisting the rules
Of a virtuous game

And captured by the thought of fear
And loneliness afraid to cry
Suffocating trying to scream

Cause I wanted out
To find myself

Cause perfect only makes you crazy
there is now way that it could save me
I'm sick of feeling like a trader
Is this the price for good behavior?

Oh my naked skin
Feels the warmth of the sun
My eyes are open
To the brightness of life

I'm driven by a force so free
To live this life not paralyzed
But with reckless abandon
So now I can breath

Don't do this
Don't do that
You will be
Out abandoned

Cause perfect only makes you crazy
there is now way that it could save me
I'm sick of feeling like a trader
Is this the price for good behavior?



Behind the Song:
"Perfection cannot save you. But it can make you think that you can save yourself. Such a god makes us our own tyrant. We are not defined by what good or bad deed we do or do not do...but in what owns us." - Plumb
