[instrumental] [Verse] Silver hair and bright eyes, a paragon of grace, Crafting peerless beauty in a dark and broken place, Every stroke must be precise, every note must shine, Chasing the rare spark, to paint mortal into divine, The quest could not end, to be the concept of great, An obsession that became poison, noticed too late! [chorus] Oh, the long pursuit of perfection, is such a beautiful lie! For a brighter paint, a more elegant dance, one must truly try! Oh, the pursuit of perfection, though it flies so fleetingly high! In the name of the flawless, all useless morality must die! [verse] The deep shadow hidden beneath the brilliant gleam, A canvas tainted by desire pushed to the extreme, A pure dream so warped, to the perfect nightmare, Where decadence sold duty, when evil took the fair, No longer pure... corrupted elegance is art, As brother draws endless pain with brothers bleeding heart! [chorus] Oh, the long pursuit of perfection, is such a beautiful lie! For a brighter paint, a more elegant dance, one must truly try! Oh, the pursuit of perfection, though it flies so fleetingly high! In the name of the flawless, all useless morality must die! [instrumental] [chorus] [stomps only] [no instruments] [beautiful sad choir] Oh, the long pursuit of perfection, is such a beautiful lie! For a brighter paint, a more elegant dance, one must truly try! Oh, the pursuit of perfection, though it flies so fleetingly high! In the name of the flawless, all useless morality must die! [resume instruments] [background choir joins in] Oh, the long pursuit of perfection, is such a beautiful lie! (It's a lie!) For a brighter paint, a more elegant dance, one must truly try! (We must try!) Oh, the pursuit of perfection, though it flies so fleetingly high! (Oh so high!) In the name of the flawless, all useless morality must die! [outro] Flawless... Twisted... Perfect decay. [fade out]
