I was frozen in a fragile world
of make believe and empty lies
dressed in the rules
of a virtuous game
captured by the thought of fear
and loneliness
afraid to cry
suffocated
for trying to scream

and I want out now
to find myself

'cause perfect only makes you crazy
there is no way that it can save me
I'm sick of feeling like a traitor
is this the price for good behavior

oh my naked skin
feels the warmth
of the sun
and my eyes are opened
to the brightness of light
driven by a force so free
to live this life
not paralyzed
but with reckless abandon
so now I can breathe

I wanted out
to find myself

'cause perfect only makes you crazy
there is no way that it can save me
I'm sick of feeling like a traitor
is this the price for good behavior

don't do this
don't do that
you will be
oh so perfect

don't do this
don't do that
you will be
oh so perfect, perfect
perfect

'cause perfect only makes you crazy
there is no way that it can save me
I'm sick of feeling like a traitor
is this the price for good behavior
