it was perfect as ever, and never as perfect as perfect as you never would be

and never as perfect as as you thought that perfect always wouldn't never be

remember that guy who used to come around the house every night?

we left him out in the rain with his equipment in a grocery bag, right?

he stopped coming around, never saw him again

he called you one night, i think, was he ever your friend?

i guess you thought you were betrayed, because he couldn't get you laid

or because he gave you shotty directions, and our little band never got payed

i should've stayed, and rocked the house with you

but you were truly an asshole for a good month or two

remember those girls who use to pop in, too?

one payed me attention, but i didn't know what to do

they never seemed to like my type

and you seemed to grow disenchanted with me, every time you had a bad night

i wish i would've kissed one of them

so they would've known what it was like to taste something real

i wish they would've touched me, so they could know how much i needed to feel

i could've gave them something that maybe they've never had

but i would've got sucked into a different world, so for not being there too long, i am glad

it's scary to think what may have happened

i just wasn't happy

it was a dark time

but i sure got some work done

it may have paved the way for the future

and set the tone for something beautiful

i saw many lovely things in that little room

i absorbed the deliciousness of tiny pleasures

the lady with the cans came through the other day

i told her she didn't belong in the back of the warehouse

she just waved at me, saying thank you

again and again thank you

i said, 'i know you can hear me, you know you're not supposed to come back here'

i tell her every day, i thought she had a mental block

she said "it's okay...i pray as i walk"

i couldn't come back on that

i just walked away and laughed

nobody is perfect

but you take the cake

you walk with no purpose

and live as a fake

not anyone in particular

just a general feeling

if you know who you are

crawl in your web in the ceiling

go back in the wall and blow away with the dust

because fraudulent assholes aren't worth my trust

you messed with my friends, and my family, and my heart

it's time to destroy you, and get a brand new start

dissappear

i've got no fear

i've shed enough tears

to wash you away into another atmosphere
