Now you’re holding in your hands
Broken blades and shards
Just remember that the ending
Is the greater part
All that you have ever loved now
Thrown into a hole
Dust to dust there
Dug with your own bones
Through the seaweed there’s a hero
Feeling pretty down
Longing only to surrender
But no-one can be found
Every dawn now from this moment
Brings a deadly dew
But nothing undermines a minute
Of the me and you
You gotta be perfect
Whenever you fall
You gotta be perfect
Whenever you fall
You gotta be perfect
Now you’re in free fall
Desperate, stoned and scrambled, broken
How beautiful you seem
You know you gotta betray somebody
To get back where you been
Don’t you let the road and journey
Devour your skin and heart
Now for certain- here the ending
Is the greater part
You gotta be perfect
Whenever you fall
You gotta be perfect
Whenever you fall
You gotta be perfect
Now you’re in free fall
