Error of Perfection

With impatience, we leave
for a broader world covered in gloom 
With imprudence, we deliver ourselves 
Into a brand new darkness 
With grace, we thrive 
And embrace the bleak future of our lives 

It's just how the society works, I guess 
I've tried many times to theorize why we are 
And why we hate all 
I've tried many times to love 
Only to be met with violence 
Oh, dear society please keep it up 

Maybe if I shout high enough 
I will be understood 
Maybe if I cursed loud enough 
You'd hear me out 
I'm just a pitiful error; 
Unfit for modern society's perfect biology. 

With anger, we delve down 
Into a bloody hell that everyone seems to love 
With anguish, we march to the tone 
The tone to injure ourselves to 
With perfection, we love 
And I hate you 

It's just how the society works, I guess 
I've learned that all of us are fake pieces of rubbish; 
I've learned we're all littering a beauty that we rape slowly, surely 
Oh, dear society please keep it up 

Maybe if I hurt immensely, 
I can inflict these wounds onto you as well 
Maybe if I leap down the concrete tundra, 
I can make it rain acid on your precious face
We're all pitiful errors; 
we're all perfect for one another 

Screw your creations, beast 
Screw your ideals 
Society, please glue my shattered pieces 
Into your deviated masterpiece 
I hate you...

Maybe if I die slow enough, 
I can enjoy the burning of it all 
Maybe if my corpse mocks well enough, 
I can stir tears in your toilet eyes 
Pitiful error; 
that's all we ever were.
