[2015] Nobody's Perfect
Can't come to grips with being average
I should do the whole world a favor
---step off this ledge
I could end it all now
No one would miss me anyhow
But the voice inside me says,
Nobody's Perfect
Pissing on the third rail
in the subway station
---my one way ticket to salvation
But the voice inside says to me
( what they all fail to see )
Nobody is Perfect
That's me
You're all jealous
secretly pining to be in my shoes
because I've got talent
Ignore me if you so choose
You can't deny
the depth of my brilliance
as hard as you try
I won't let you
No, I won't let you
You can hold your breath
until your face turns blue
I won't let you
No, I won't let you
Look at me, look at me
thrashing about madly
---center of your universe
defying all gravity;
a black hole
sucking you in
and never letting go
until you finally admit
what everyone should
already know
I'm maybe Nobody
but Nobody is Perfect
No one else is Perfect
That's me!
Dismiss me all you want
It's just more incentive to flaunt
that no one else is perfect
like me
Excuse me while I blatantly
shamelessly promote
my own poetic genius
lyrical note for note
Never mind what it was
that I actually wrote---
not important compared to
a popularity vote
Keep your eyes on the prize
on me and you will realize
wat the whole world
has been missing out on
what it tried to disguise
Camouflaged
amongst the average
lost in the ordinary
where no one is special
That's where you will find me
I'm maybe Nobody
but Nobody is Perfect
No one else is Perfect
That's me!
Dismiss me all you want
It's just more incentive to flaunt
tat no one else is perfect
like me
I should do the whole world a favor
---step off this ledge
I could end it all now
No one would miss me anyhow
