Imperfect Lyrics

Like This

Hello, I'm Andrew
I like to write music about...
well, nothing, really

I can't write lyrics, or sing
But I'm making an album with vocals
And it's going to sound sort of like this

It can't go on like this
None of this is true
Ignorance is bliss
Take me with you

Function Over Fashion

You go out of your way to look right
You're not making it easy for yourself
You have nothing to say, and that's alright
It's time to leave your fashion on the shelf

It's not doing you any good
You don't look misunderstood to me

I'm sure you are unique in every way
But you don't have to express it just for show
Being a misfit's popular these days
You think you're cool, but there's something you should know

It's not doing you any good
You don't look misunderstood to me

Does vanity make you happier?
Isn't that what's more important?
Shouldn't you enjoy yourself?
Shouldn't you put function over fashion?

Desensitised

Stay close to me?
I really don't mind, if you do what I say
I cannot see
Into your eyes, but maybe some day

I'll understand how you feel

I can't hear your voice
You're talking I know, but I can't make out the sound
I've got not choice
I have to go, maybe I'll see you around

Please understand how I feel

I can't feel at all
I'm out of my mind, like I've lost my free will
How did I fall?
I'm trapped in this bind, and I can't breathe until

I realise how to feel
I'm desensitised, and you are not real

Practice Makes Perfect

I can't do anything right
I can't do anything at all
I can't keep you up all night
It really makes me feel so small

I do not even know why
I guess I'll practice by myself

There's so much that I don't know
And nothing I can give to you
If you don't want me, I'll go
Just say, I won't mind if you do

I do not even know why
I guess I'll just practice by myself

Would it help not to know me?
I don't care if you want to forget
But I'd love for you to show me
I need all the practice I can get

Turning Around

You said you'd follow your heart
But where did it lead you?
You said that you'd stay apart
But now you're back 'cause he needs you

You said you'd never forget
You said you'd never forget
And now you've let yourself down

You thought he wasn't the one
Why did you change your mind?
You really thought that he'd gone
And that's where you fell behind

You thought you'd never forget
You thought you'd never forget
And then you let yourself down

You said you'd never forget
And now you're gonna regret
Turning around

Rise Up

I speak in the name of all that is true
I speak to you all
I speak of a man who can save you
From taking the fall

I'll show you the error of your ways
And help you repent
I'll show you how to spend the rest of your days
So you can prevent damnation

Don't continue what you did before
All of those things are wrong
You'll pay the penalty, if you ignore
What I've said all along

I expected to be met with gratitude
Is this how you repay me?
I did my best, but with your attitude
None of you can be saved

I'll let the fire rise up
I'll let the fire burn you
I'll let the fire rise up, and burn you

I'll watch the fire rise up
I'll watch the fire burn you
I'll watch the fire rise up, and burn you

Zoom Out

Sometimes you just need to zoom out, to see the big picture
