I stumble about the confines,
Of my anal quest
For perfection...
Love and fear me, in a like degree.
No understanding,
I'm a mystery to me.
Anger and self-doubt
In fruitful congregation!
I'm down on my knees,
In sick protestation!
I close my eyes, offer no resistance.
From whom did I inherit
This barren demerit?
Moulded in the likeness of ancient foes,
To infringe the wholeness
Of my soul...
The bond is torn asunder,
Perfection failed.
Nevertheless,
An exit I did create...
Per! perfection!
Fact, perfection!
Perfection failed!
Perfection fails...
I stumble about the confines,
Of my anal quest
For perfection...
Love and fear me, in a like degree.
No understanding,
I'm a mystery to me.
Per! perfection!
Fact, perfection!
Perfection failed!
Perfection fails...
