I sharpened every edge of me
Until nothing human showed
Filed the pulse out of my veins
Just to fit their perfect mold
Every breath was measured out
Like a debt I had to pay
Chasing ghosts of who they wanted
While the real me rotted away
Every line I tried to straighten
Split the mirror down the seam
I crowned myself with broken halos
Built my temple out of scars
Every step with no direction
Has kept me further from the stars
I'll burn alive inside your heaven
Just to show this ain’t my home
I'm only flawless in my failure
The only truth I've ever known
They fed me rules like gospel poison
Said the flaw was in my skin
So I carved away my instincts
Just to let their god win
But the silence started screaming
Underneath the polished lie
Something feral kept breathing
Somewhere deep I couldn’t hide
Every mask I ever worshipped
Turned to dust inside my hands
I crowned myself with broken halos
Built my temple out of scars
Every step with no direction
Has kept me further from the stars
I'll burn alive inside your heaven
Just to show this ain’t my home
I'm only flawless in my failure
The only truth I've ever known
Perfection is a quiet violence
A blade that never leaves a mark
A holy war against your nature
Fought in the chambers of your heart
Let the structure start collapsing
Let the idols fall apart
Truth was never built from marble
It was always made from scars
Tear it down
Let it fall
Shatter every sacred wall
Tear it down
Let it fall
Truth was bleeding
Through it all
I threw my crown upon the alter
Watched it burn away my scars
Every evil that rose against me
Brought my heart back to the stars
I burned alive inside your heaven
So I could find my way back home
I'm only flawless in my failure
The only truth I've ever known
