Perfectionist

V6

[Intro] Click Align Quantize Again One pixel left One fraction late One tiny flaw I cannot wait Perfect Perfect Perfect— Never done [Verse 1] Every line must fit the frame Every number needs a name Every corner, every wire Polish it until I tire Zero warning Zero stain Run the sequence once again Clean the surface Hide the seam Build a flawless little dream [Pre-Chorus] But the closer that I get The farther goes the end Every answer makes another Thing I have to mend [Chorus] Perfectionist I sharpen everything Till nothing has a point Perfectionist I tune every little part Till I can’t hear the joint Perfect code Perfect sound Perfect shape Perfect ground But if everything is sacred What is sacred now? [Instrumental Break] [odd-meter jazz keys] [mechanical techno pulse] [glitch percussion gradually desynchronizes] [saxophone fragments answering modular synth] [Verse 2] Optimize the hidden room Polish places no one views Future-proof a future ghost Fix the thing that matters least the most Another layer Another test Another version “slightly best” I keep improving every door Forget what I was building for [Pre-Chorus] If every detail screams at once There is no signal left If every piece demands perfection Nothing can be kept [Chorus] Perfectionist I sharpen everything Till nothing has a point Perfectionist I tune every little part Till I can’t hear the joint Perfect code Perfect sound Perfect shape Perfect ground But if everything is sacred What is sacred now? [Bridge] Stop. Not broken Not complete Just enough to hold the beat Keep the center Cut the rest Not every part deserves my best Sixty here Ninety there One thing gets a hundred Choose the weight Choose the line Choose what must survive [Build] Not everything Not everything Not everything Needs to shine Not everything Not everything Not everything Needs to align [Final Chorus] Perfectionist I finally see the trick The finish line was mine Perfectionist The core was never everything The core was what I chose to define Leave the noise Leave the seams Leave some edges incomplete If the center still is breathing Then the work is complete [Outro] Click Align Release Click Align Release Not perfect. Finished.
