Lights are off
The curtains drawn
Another day, another pawn
Every move and every word I say
Measured marks and they won't look away
They're waiting for the cracks to show
A single slip and down I go
But I'm no machine, I bleed, I break
Still they demand the perfect take
The weight of perfect is crushing me
A life performed for all to see
No room for flaws, no time to breathe
A robotic world where hearts don't beat
I'm only human, but they don't care
In this aimless game, it's all unfair
The weight of perfect is pulling me down
Turning my life into a battleground
Check this room, my every step
No room for joy, no space for rest
They paint a world so cold, so bright
A flawless lie, a sterile light
But what's the cost of this charade
A hollow soul, a life betrayed
I long to scream, to let it go
But the system holds, won't lose control
The weight of perfect is crushing me
A life performed for all to see
No room for flaws, no time to breathe
A robotic world where hearts don't beat
I'm only human, but they don't care
In this aimless game, it's all unfair
The weight of perfect is pulling me down
Turning my life into a battleground

Every move and every word I say
Measured marks and they won't look away
They're waiting for the cracks to show

But I'm no machine, I bleed, I break
Still they demand the perfect take
The weight of perfect is crushing me

The weight of perfect is pulling me down
Turning my life into a battleground
