Price of Perfection

My all time favourite song. Price of Perfection by Magnetic North. This is my favourite verse. Listening to this always helps me keep sane. Give it a listen why don't you? Might save you like it saved me.

her pride kept her checked in
never was the one to go crying for attention
and why should she mention
the struggles under the surface
who'd take her serious? she appeared perfect
so perfect, that's why she's deserted
why she can't help forgetting seatbelts on purpose
swerving her lexus with a death wish
heart hollowed out like a tiffanys necklace a gift from her father
who loved her, but bothered
to only show love through material barter
constricted confinement, she drifted in silence
showing defiance through inflicted violence
upon herself
felt the war persist
wearing, long sleeves hiding scars on her wrist
in search of some options
she turned to her toxins
amphetamine pills kept in cigarette boxes
she figured she'd stop when she finally erased
the look of disappointment in mom and dads face
too gone and too late
she withdrew in herself
dropped out of school
and ruined her health
she pushed it all aside, her arrogant pride
relied too much on heinekens and heroin highs
thats how the heroine dies, alone in her car
with perfection and a bullet wound that gaped at the stars...
that gaped at the stars...
and thats the price of perfection.
