Perfect Agony
So you say just once more
How I've fallen again.
And you say you live for
What you thought was a sin.
So you never have hope
To achieve your desire.
So unable to cope.
Plunge your hand in the fire.
'Cause it's
The only way you know
That what you see
Is reality.
The only thing I know
That I can show
Is perfect agony.
I feel a perfect agony
As I lay drowning in this sea.
For all my life was meant to be
Is what lies deep in me.
The truth of what I really am:
A simple, fallen, hollow man.
And now in all this agony
I find the perfect truth in me.
I don't need your advice.
I don't need you to tell me how to live my life.
I don't need your advice.
I don't want your advice.
I feel a perfect agony
As I lie drowning in this sea.
And all my tears turn out to be
A lie: a perfect agony.
The truth of who I really am
Is a simple, fallen, hollow man.
So now I find deep in my soul
A truth: a feeling I control.
I feel this perfect agony.
I feel this perfect agony.
I die: I drown deep in this sea
Of tears and perfect agony.
So you say just once more
Death's what you see in me;
But you still have to live for,
And you still have to be,
In perfect agony.
