lyrics

PERFECT SON

Social loud, but I have become something
A fix of confidence and class, an excerpt from this book
The flag was at half mast, when it first went up
Now it's losing color, I met my mother and she looks like me

I'm the perfect son, I'm the perfect son
I'm playing Jesus

All statement no question
So much of so little to talk about
A faceless entertainer, spilling guts to listless crowds
It's the reason that you know me, why you went away
I broke your spirit and turned you off
So I called a girl and met her at the market
It was Valentine's and she was selling souls

I used to root for carnage, I used to want control
There was a time when I would die for anyone who needed rope
Go and preach your nothings, go bully the weak
Smiling spineless through your translucent teeth
You're all statement, no question about it
